Actor Yoo Hae-jin attracted attention by saying that he actually drank alcohol while filming the movie ‘Soju War’.

‘Soju War’, which opens on the 30th, depicts the story of Jong-rok, a financial director whose soju company is his life, and In-beom, an employee of IMF global investment company who only pursues results, facing off against each other for the fate of the Korean people’s soju during the 1997 IMF foreign exchange crisis.Yoo Hae-jin, Lee Je-hoon, and Son Hyun-joo star.

At the press screening held at CGV Yongsan Apia Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 29th, Yoo Hae-jin, who played the role of a financial director struggling to prevent the bankruptcy of a soju company, compared the film to his recent leading role in “Opposition,” explaining,“ ‘Opposition’ is about a person who lives for his personal desires and ambitions, but in this film, he is the complete opposite.The character in this film lives for the entire company rather than for himself.”

He then mentioned the drinking scenes that frequently appear in the drama, saying, “I put on makeup to make my face look red for filming, but I actually drank one or two glasses,” and “I only drank enough that it didn’t interfere with filming.”
