Leung-wi said, "It was different from the role I played before, and actor Deok-hwa Yu played it together. “When playing a good role, there are restrictions or rules, but it’s good because a villain can do anything,” he said.

Regarding his feelings about working together after a long time, Tony Leung said, "Of course I was really excited. It was fun working together, and I was even happier that I had the opportunity to work together after a long time. Communication is not that necessary. We have known each other for over 30 years, built great trust, and worked together a lot. “Because we have been working together, we work well together. We have similar goals when working,” he explained. Yoo Deok-hwa then responded, "I basically know what level of actor Yang Jo-wi is. This person shows it through his acting. All of our collaborations are not made for a specific time or place, but are always new and innovative."

Regarding what they want to be like in each other, Tony Leung praised, "I've thought about how actor Deok-Hwa Yoo is good at both singing and acting. He's great in every way," and Deok-Hwa Yoo said, "He solves everything, including work, life, and dreams, with a successful attitude. This is the part." “I want to learn,” he said, expressing his affection.

Also, when asked if he would still be an actor even if he were born again, Deokhwa Yu explained, "Of course. Because you can have different dreams and accumulate various experiences throughout your life," and Leung Tony also said, "Unlike ordinary office workers, I do not do the same thing every day. “Each role feels different. It’s nice to have the opportunity to experience different experiences and experience other people’s lives,” he said.

Lastly, the two people greeted their Korean fans. Tony Leung said, "I'll be meeting you all soon, and I hope you'll support 'Goldfinger' until I do." Yoo Deok-hwa said, "I haven't visited Korea for a really long time. If you have a good script or a director who wants to contact me, please contact me. Korea “I hope we can achieve our dreams in the film field together.”
