‘1947 Boston’ Ha Jung-woo “The moment I caught a screen with Im Si-wan… I thought, ‘I’m a little older.’”

(Reporter Kim Yu-jin, Xports News) Ha Jung-woo shared his thoughts on working with Im Si-wan in ‘1947 Boston.’

On the 11th, a press preview of the movie ‘1947 Boston’ (directed by Kang Je-gyu) was held at the Lotte Cinema Konkuk University entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Director Kang Je-gyu and actors Ha Jung-woo, Im Si-wan, and Kim Sang-ho attended the event.

In ‘1947 Boston’, Ha Jung-woo played the role of Berlin Olympic gold medalist Son Ki-jeong, and played the role of Seo Yun-bok, an indomitable marathoner who dreams of becoming the next Son Ki-jeong.

On this day, Ha Jung-woo said, “I think it was my first time playing the role of a director and a senior,”and “My first thought after watching the movie was when Im Si-wan and I were caught on the same screen, I thought, ‘I’m a little older.’ “There wasn’t any,” he said with a laugh.

He continued, “Teacher Son Ki-jeong led the team on a journey to Boston, and I think he had a sense of responsibility. As a senior, I took responsibility for not being able to wear the Taegeukgi at the Berlin Olympics, and I felt the need to participate in the competition with the Taegeukgi at least this time. “I tried to have it. I filmed it while thinking about teacher Son Ki-jeong’s feelings,”he added.

‘1947 Boston’ is a film about the aspirations and races of national marathoners who want to run again after liberation and participate in the first international marathon, and will be released on the 27th.
