Song Seung-heon said, "I watched 'The Glory'. I even told Song Hye-kyo that I had a good time. Didn't Lim Ji-yeon show an innocent image in 'Human Addiction'? This time, she showed a very bad side of a bullying perpetrator. The new look received a good response from the viewers. I don't think I got it. I think the viewers saw it in a new way."

Starting with Psy, BTS was like that, but the Korean Wave was in Asia, too. Now, K-pop, K-drama, and K-movie are attracting attention from the Americas and Europe. It is an era in which Korean content is (recognized) worldwide and is awarded by the Academy. As an actor who creates K-content, I feel lucky to be living in this era. . Actors and officials seem to be like that. I think we live in a good world. In a way, it can be fashionable. I think that in times like this, we have to make it better. The higher the expectation, the harder we have to work hard to repay with a good work." said.
