Thank you to the staff and actors who participated in the drama. When I go, I try to prepare meticulously, but I couldn’t prepare everything for ‘Black Sun’ because there were so many things to prepare. But all the actors on set were with ‘Black Sun’ characters. My body and mind were very tired. But thanks to that, I was able to shoot with all my strength until the end,” he said, with tears in his eyes, expressing his gratitude.
