Jung Hae-in, who acted enthusiastil Sang-pil, said “When I read the ‘START-UP’ scenario, I feel the full of humanity from it, and I also wanted to do a work that gives warm energy. I also got back a lot of energy from the director and the actors who worked with me. ”

“Whatever it was, I wanted to do something good. I wanted to go back and start-up again.”

Jung Hae-in ended “I hope it would be a small gift for those who have struggled hard in 2019.”
