The newly released stills not only capture the actors deeply immersed in their characters but also showcase the lively atmosphere of the 'Soju War' team during filming. The dedication of the actors, both in front of and behind the camera, highlights the passion and effort of Team 'Soju War.' Scenes include the creation of the national treasure drink, Ssanghwaju, by mixing egg yolk and Ssanghwatang with soju, as well as the camaraderie between Jong-rok (played by Yoo Hae-jin) and In-beom (played by Lee Je-hoon) after a team dinner, and the playful antics of the cast when the cameras stop rolling.
These behind-the-scenes stills, showcasing the actors' enthusiasm and the vibrant set atmosphere, promise fresh excitement for both audiences who have seen 'Soju War' and those planning to watch it.
'Soju War' features a stellar cast including the 'unique duo' Yoo Hae-jin and Lee Je-hoon, along with Son Hyun-joo, Choi Young-joon, and Byron Mann. The film's focus on soju, a 'companion to the entire nation,' adds a sense of familiarity.
Set during the 1997 IMF financial crisis, 'Soju War' tells the story of Jong-rok, a finance director for whom the soju company is life, and In-beom, an employee of a global investment firm who only pursues results, as they battle for the fate of Korea's national soju. The film is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
