According to the production set, the Chuncheon warships and camps will start building from 27th and be ready by end of June for the filming. The city will be supporting the film production to attract local and foreign tourists while promoting the Hallyu star.
New director PD Ryu Seung Wan has experience working with emotional movies and during the Japanese occupation. Since Song Joong Ki has earned his name on the plate as the new Hallyu star fresh from his Descendants of the Sun drama, he is paired up with fellow veteran actors Hwang Jung Min, Seo Ji Sub and Lee Jung Hyun in this movie.
Camp Page is a former base of US Army located at Chuncheon with space of 55 000 ㎡ will be used to depict the Hashima island in the Nagasaki prefecture of Japan. Hashima Island is a place where forced labor took place during the 2nd World War. The island is known for undersea coal mines. Hashima Island is now a UNESCO World Heritage site in July 2015. Camp Page has been closed off on 2005 but will be used as a set for the movie.
Chuncheon is looking forward to lead Korean fans into visiting the site during and after the filming. Good luck to the cast and production crew!
For those who remember Hashima Island when Infinite Challenge featured a special episode where Yoo Jae Suk and Haha took a heartbreaking trip there to remember the late Korean forced labor victims in the island. There was an elder Korean grandfather who was the sole survivor and he revived the tale of how he suffered, he survived and lived till today.
