Kim Seong-cheol of ‘Breakthrough’ shared his thoughts on singing the song inserted at the end of the movie.

On the afternoon of the 24th, a press conference for the movie ‘Breakthrough’ was held in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.Actors Lee Hye-young, Kim Sung-chul, Yeon Woo-jin, Cynthia, and director Min Kyu-dong attended the press conference that day.

On this day, when director Min Kyu-dong asked Kim Sung-chul why he had him sing the song that plays during the ending credits of “Breakthrough,” he said, “I thought it would be nice to have a song that admires the sculpture in the movie, and I wrote the lyrics for a long time.After refining it in several versions, I finally mustered up the courage to ask him.I asked him to write the lyrics with the feeling of a bull calling out the name of the sculpture, thinking about what kind of song a bull would sing to the sculpture.I hoped that the image of the sculpture in the movie would remain deeply in the hearts of many people.”

Kim Sung-chul said, “When I saw the lyrics, I thought they were really good.The melody of the music is important, but I’m someone who values lyrics more, so I really liked the lyrics of ‘Piece.’ However, I felt burdened when singing it.I felt like I wouldn’t be able to be there if my voice echoed during the ending credits of the movie.The director said it would be more beneficial to the movie if it was there, so I mustered up the courage,” drawing attention.

Meanwhile, ‘Breakthrough’ is an action drama depicting an intense confrontation between Jo-gak(played by Lee Hye-young), a legendary killer who has been active for 40 years in an organization that deals with cockroach-like humans, and Tou(played by Kim Sung-chul), a mysterious killer who has chased her all her life.It will be released on the 30th.
