Hyun Woo-seok expressed, "This is my first time attending an overseas film festival, including Singapore. At first, I was very nervous, but I was deeply moved by the passionate audience. Even though the film was made in a different language, seeing everyone laugh and empathize with the same scenes made me think, 'This is the power of cinema.'
He continued, "During the event, it was really amazing that people recognized me and greeted me, which made me want to work even harder. I am grateful for the interest in our film 'Time to Gather Strength,' and I hope that after watching it, various young people will find the courage to gather strength."
