Jung Jin-young, who is releasing dramas and movies with a short time difference, said in a telephone conversation with Sports Dong-a on the 20th, "I still can't believe I made a movie that I will show to an actual audience. I'm trying to be calm". Regarding the release of the movie amid the aftermath of the spread of the COVID-19 infection, he said, "I hope the spread of the infectious diseases will calm down. I'm sorry to even ask you to come to see the movie", he said. "I'm calmly waiting for the opening day".
