[News] Lee Minho (이민호) and Kim Rae Won reveal their thoughts on filming ‘Gangnam Blues’

Upcoming South Korean movie ‘Gangnam Blues‘ which stars Lee Minho and Kim Rae Won, and has been garnering much attention from fans, recently wrapped up filming.

Director Yu Ha’s comeback piece ‘Gangnam Blues,’ wrapped up filming in Gwangyang, South Jeolla Province on August 31st. Since filming started on April 16th, the production team had traveled around the country 95 times to places like Suncheon, Damyang, Naju, Jeonju, Iksan, Muju and Gwangyang for filming, in order to replicate the 1970′s setting that it is based around. The movie has now entered the post-production phase, and is scheduled to greet viewers by the end of this year.

‘Gangnam Blues’ will be the first time that Lee Minho is headlining a movie on the big screen. It represented a huge challenge for Lee Minho as it was a generational action movie where he had to handle action and emotional scenes at the same time. Lee Minho related his thoughts on the successful completion of the filming, “We finally ended our long four and a half months of filming. Everything ends today, and this movie is really meaningful. This is the first time that I am taking on a movie lead role like Jong Dae. I was really happy to have worked with an excellent cast and production staff.”

Kim Rae Won meanwhile is making a comeback to action movie, eight years after his last action movie ‘Sunflower.’ Kim Rae Won plays the role of Yong Ki, and he felt really happy despite a tough 4 1/2 months of filming. As he looked back at the first day of filming, he thanked the cast and staff members for their hard work as they worked hand-in-hand tirelessly for the filming.

‘Gangnam Blues’ is a ‘gangster noir’ set in the 1970s, when Gangnam, Seoul goes under development, and tells the story of desires, loyalty, and betrayal. The movie is directed by Yu Ha, and is currently in the post-production phase, and will open in cinemas by the end of the year.
