Director Woo said, "The approach to the work, the mindset, and the story we want to tell are different, so I feel both nervous and excited," and added, "I wish for the safety and smooth filming of all the production staff." Hyun Bin said, "After deciding to participate, I once visited the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall alone, and at that time, I felt a deep weight and trembling in my heart," and promised, "I will do my best." Park Jung-min said, "It is a burden to act in a work dealing with heroes of Korean history. I will work hard so as not to be ashamed."
