Writer So Jae-won announced that he will actively cast actors who are descendants of independence activists in his works.

On the 14th, Writer So Jae-won posted a long message on his personal account regarding descendants of independence activists.

Writer So Jae-won first mentioned actor Choi Bul-am, stating, "Mr. Choi Bul-am's father was independence activist Mr. Choi Cheol." He added, "It is an honor that the last drama in which Mr. Choi appeared was my work. I am the only one who was involved in casting and personally brought him on board."

He said, "Through this opportunity, I learned that descendants of great families are actively working as actors," and added, "If the country and society cannot shine a light on the descendants of independence fighters, then at least my humble words should help illuminate them."

He further emphasized, "As someone who holds a pen, I want to take the lead in this 'normal' change that doing independence work will bring prosperity and respect for three generations," and stressed, "The natural courtesy and respect due to descendants of independence fighters must be clearly distinguished from those of pro-Japanese collaborators."

Writer So Jae-won also made it clear that he intends to actively cast descendants of independence activists in his future works. He stated, "To summarize, my future works will unconditionally feature descendants of independence fighters," and added, "At the very least, shouldn't these descendants be able to hear stories like 'they benefited from their ancestors'?"

He continued, "I am in a position where I can do at least this much," and concluded with, "Long live the independent Korea!"

Meanwhile, Writer So Jae-won is the original author of films such as "Beastie Boys" and "Wish."
