Mark Ruffalo, who is visiting Korea for the first time in 10 years, said, “I‘m happy to be back in Korea. I was warmly welcomed last time I visited Korea. I’m happy to be here, and I‘m glad I finished the movie like this. I rode a motorcycle on the way here. Here, I am with director Bong Joon-ho, and I am happy to be with the greatest director and great actors, and to be in director Bong Joon-ho’s home country,” he said.
