He continued, "You can tell by looking at his personality, but even at the moment of shooting, he laughs and enjoys himself. I also thought, 'Oh, this character is not normal'" and "I made it while talking with the director to express a detailed look. The question I asked the most was 'why is this?' It was," he said, laughing.

'The Scion' will be released on June 21st.
