Actor Ju Won expressed a deep sense of mission towards the movie ‘Firefighter’, eagerly anticipating its release. In an interview conducted at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, Ju Won candidly shared his expectations for the film and his feelings during the long wait.
‘Firefighter’ is set against the backdrop of the 2001 Hongje-dong fire disaster, depicting the story of firefighters who are dedicated to fire suppression and rescue amidst challenging conditions. Although the film was completed in 2000, its release was delayed for four years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and an incident involving lead actor Kwak DoWon’s DUI. Ju Won remarked, “Unlike other films, this one gave me a special sense of mission,” adding that he had “waited a long time” for its release.
Although Ju Won does not vividly remember the Hongje-dong fire disaster from his childhood, he was struck by the harsh conditions faced by the firefighters as depicted in the script. He sincerely expressed his hope for improved working conditions for firefighters.
At a recent screening, firefighters responded positively, noting that the movie realistically captured their experiences. Ju Won commented, “Firefighters are ordinary people living their daily lives,” and noted that the film resonated with audiences by portraying their everyday existence.
The movie ‘Firefighter’ is set to be released on December 4th, and it is hoped that it will prompt audiences to reflect on the true dedication of firefighters. It is also anticipated that the film will contribute to improving the working conditions of firefighters in the future.
