Actor Kim In-gwon visited a film experience museum in his hometown of Busan to share reminiscences regarding film and episodes from his acting days. In a video released by the official Management SEESUN channel, Kim spoke about his acting career spanning film and television, as well as his past experiences as a directing major.

From directing major to actor: the motivation to act

Kim recalled his time as a directing major in a theater and film department. The video conveyed a situation where, despite being a directing major, he had to act when his seniors requested it due to a shortage of people. He explained that while he worked with the filming team as a directing major, he followed the instructions of his seniors when they asked him to act, which became the background for his path as an actor.

He also mentioned the value of the era when the presence of cameras was different from today. He recalled that in a time when seeing one's own face on screen and having people enjoy watching it was a very rare value, the news of a movie being filmed would cause a sensation throughout the entire neighborhood.

Haeundae filming sites and changes in CG technology

Memories of filming movies set in Busan were also shared. Kim recalled scenes filmed near Haeundae and the Gwangandaegyo Bridge. In particular, he mentioned that scenes filmed in the past now appear as memorable moments due to well-applied CG, and that many people remember those scenes.

During this visit, which took place alongside museum exhibits, he noted that props and personnel required for film production are continuously needed. He also looked back on memories of the field while examining various elements of the film industry, such as the process of revealing achievements through names in newspapers.
