Song Joong Ki's On Taking The Role Of Tae Ho
When director Ho worked on the 2012 film, A Werewolf Boy, the Space Sweepers was already an item that he had in mind. Simultaneously, while filming for A Werewolf Boy, Song heard Space Sweepers' plot and thought of it to be director Cho's unique, warm, and pleasant Korean-styled story.
Song previously said that Cho Sung Hee is a unique director in the Korean film industry, recalling the time he was instantly captivated by Space Sweepers.
He also added that even before reading the screenplay, he genuinely believed in the director that he had decided to star in the work. "I wanted to do it no matter what. I thought that I couldn't let anyone else take the role of Tae Ho," the actor expressed.
Furthermore, the prolific actor is not the only one who showed trust in Cho. Even Kim Tae Ri described the actor as someone shy and cautious but very passionate about his work.
Director Cho Receiving Earning Trust From The Production Crew
