Actor Im Si-wan looked back on how he felt when he saw the finish line of the marathon.

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

On this day, Im Si-wan said, “This is how I felt when I reached the finish line, and this was the emotion that was amplified. At every moment, I kept reminding myself that I would not do it in vain. I thought that this moment would never come back. Likewise, I thought that I had to work as hard as I could die for this moment.”.

He added, “It’s not such a big race, but I always set small goals while exercising, and rather than thinking about anything else, the simple and clear thought of ‘I have to finish this’ dominated. I think I filmed the finish line scene based on that thought.”

‘1947 Boston’ is a work depicting the challenges and thrilling journey of marathon runners to participate in international competitions wearing the Taegeuk symbol for the first time after liberation in 1947. It will be released on the 27th.
