‘Match’ Lee Byung-hun mentioned the drama ‘All In’.

On the afternoon of the 19th, a press conference for the movie ‘Match’ was held at CGV Yongsan I-PARK MALL in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Actors Lee Byung-hun, Ko Chang-seok, Hyun Bong-sik, Moon Jung-hee, Jo Woo-jin, and director Kim Hyung-joo attended the press conference that day.

Lee Byung-hun said about the release of ‘Match’, “I get nervous and excited no matter what the situation is when I make a movie and show it in theaters. I get nervous about how much it will be conveyed to the audience and how much they will like it. But the fact that this movie is finally meeting the audience on the screen after many twists and turns is so exciting. I jumped for joy when I first heard the news. It feels so good.”He continued, “The scenes that fail in the movie are ultimately things that happened in real life, but I wonder how something so dramatic can happen. I thought the situations where he loses to his student and then challenges his student were so dramatic that it was hard to believe they were real. While filming this movie, I met 9-dan Cho Hun-hyun and heard that the real-life protagonist of ‘All In’, teacher Cha Min-soo, was his best friend since childhood. Then, I suddenly had the thought that ‘All In’ is also a story about a gambler, so I think I approached filming with the thought that it had something in common,” he said, drawing attention.

Meanwhile, ‘Gamble’ depicts the story of Korea‘s greatest Go legend Cho Hun-hyun (played by Lee Byung-hun) who, after losing to his student, challenges the top once again with his innate gambler spirit. It will be released on the 26th.
