What was it like when you first were made aware that you landed the role of the legendary Kim Ka-bong?

Flabbergasted, really, is the only word that describes it.

In the beginning phases, it's all code names, and we don't know a lot of things about the stuff that we're going for, obviously.

And once the veil is lifted, if you will, and you start to look into the IP, the character, the story, it gets heavier and heavier, the responsibility, the stuff on my shoulders as an actor to... play this character honorably, it gets heavier and heavier.

And this is certainly one of those times in my career that I've distinctly and definitively felt the weight of the character on my shoulders, which motivates me to work harder.

And when those moments arise, the occasions arise, I'm more than happy to stand up and meet the challenge head on, certainly.

But This was certainly, I'll be honest here, certainly one of the most intimidating and the most nerve wracking news I've heard I've had in my career.
