[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The film 'Bogota,' which began filming in Colombia but was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and later completed domestically, has finally wrapped up after numerous challenges.

On the 6th, Megabox JoongAng Corp. Plus M announced this news. The film is a crime drama about people who choose Bogota as their last refuge in a hopeless life and start dangerous deals to survive. Actor Song Joong-ki stars as the protagonist, with Lee Hee-joon and Kwon Hae-hyo among the cast.

'Bogota' started filming locally in Colombia in January last year but stopped in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After halting production and returning home, filming resumed domestically in June once the spread subsided. Later, filming was paused again when Song Joong-ki was classified as a close contact.

Through the distributor, director Kim Sung-je said, "Facing the global plague head-on, we finally reached the harbor," adding, "Thanks to the understanding, concessions, and determination of the actors and staff, we avoided shipwreck and made it here. I am grateful for everyone's hard work and dedication."

Song Joong-ki shared, "We overcame many difficult obstacles, and because of that, I believe a very special film with excellent results will emerge. Just as Guk-hee grew step by step after arriving in Colombia, meeting 'Bogota' as an actor was a time to learn and feel many things."

'Bogota' is scheduled to be released after post-production.
