On May 22, the cast of the film had a press conference where they spoke about the project.

Many netizens believed it was inappropriate to ask such a question, especially on a public stage with Kim Seon Ho there in person, especially as he looked quite uncomfortable. Luckily, netizens couldn’t stop praising the actor for remaining calm and the director for his honest answer.
