'Bi-gwang' director Lee Ji-won drew attention by comparing working with actors to a romantic relationship.

'Bi-gwang' (directed by Lee Ji-won) held its production report event on the morning of the 5th at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall. Attendees included Ryu Seung-ryong, Ha Ji-won, Kim Si-a, Kim Sun-young, Kim Young-min, and director Lee Ji-won.

'Bi-gwang' is a story about top-star couple Jung-goo (played by Ryu Seung-ryong) and Nam-mi (played by Ha Ji-won), whose lives are shattered after the sudden appearance of Jung-goo's daughter Dong-joo (played by Kim Si-a). Eight years later, they risk everything to save Dong-joo from a shocking incident while uncovering the truth. This is director Lee Ji-won's follow-up to 'Miss Baek'.

'Bi-gwang' features actors Lee Ji-won previously worked with, including Kim Si-a from 'Miss Baek' and Ha Ji-won from 'Climax'. The film also includes collaborations with Kim Sun-young and Kim Young-min, showcasing continued partnerships with familiar actors.

'In my view,' said director Lee Ji-won, 'working again with someone I have cast before creates synergy. Working together requires time to get to know each other, much like a relationship. When we take time to understand one another before starting work, that period of getting to know each other becomes shorter.' He added, 'When working together for the second time, we can understand each other more deeply. Just as in romance, where time is needed to learn about each other, the second collaboration allows us to see different sides more profoundly. I reach out again to actors who were great during our first collaboration.'

'Bi-gwang' will be released on September 2.
