Hollywood actor Byron Mann shared his thoughts on visiting Korea.

On the afternoon of the 29th, a screening and press conference for the movie ‘Soju War’ was held at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall in Seoul. Actors Yoo Hae-jin, Lee Je-hoon, Son Hyun-joo, and Byron Mann attended.

Byron Mann stated, “I am very happy to be here. The time I spent filming with Korean actors is undoubtedly the highlight of my acting career.”

He continued, “I filmed here for about three months two years ago. I came back after two years, and it feels like coming home. It’s an honor.”

Regarding his collaboration with Lee Je-hoon, he explained, “It was an honor to work together, and I think he speaks English better than I do. I was deeply impressed by his thorough preparation.”

‘Soju War’ depicts the story of Jong-rok, a finance director for a soju company whose life revolves around soju, and In-beom, an employee of a global investment firm who only pursues results, as they confront the fate of soju for the people of South Korea during the 1997 IMF financial crisis. The film is set to be released on the 30th.
