Actress Soo Ae of SBS drama “King of Ambition” gathered with actor Jang Hyuk of KBS drama “Iris 2” and movie director Kim Sung-soo, whose work includes “City of the Rising Sun,” as they all worked together to produce upcoming movie “The Flu,” which will hit the local theaters on Aug. 15.
Soo Ae said she was scared of the director before deciding to take the offer to appear in the movie as she has heard that he can be as scary as a tiger. Director Kim said that he asked to meet her before she decided on accepting the offer for the role as he knew that there was a misunderstanding about his character.
