To promote the documentary film , which commemorates the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Korea, actor Jo Jin-woong and Park Hong-geun, chairman of the General Hong Beom-do Memorial Project Association, appeared on 'Kim Eo-jun's Humility Is Difficult News Factory' on the 6th (Wednesday) and talked about the film.

Park Hong-geun noted, 'The film recorded 1.17 million viewers. We are celebrating the 80th anniversary of liberation, and our movie needs to surpass that, doesn't it?' Actor Jo Jin-woong conveyed, 'This film addresses the fundamental question of why Korea sought independence, and it is content that everyone should know regardless of political affiliation.' Additionally, he shared, 'It is something that someone needs to do. I had a connection with General Hong Beom-do, it was a good cause, and I thought it would not be wrong for me, as an actor, to participate if someone needs to be a speaker.'

Park Hong-geun mentioned, 'In the past, Jo Jin-woong starred in a movie called 'Headman Kim Chang-soo,' and since then, he has been visiting the tomb of Kim Gu at Hyochung Park every year with a sense of respect. I was quite surprised.' To this, Jo Jin-woong shared, 'It became an opportunity to learn more deeply about Grandpa Kim Gu. Such opportunities are necessary. I lived on Baekbeom Road but did not know it was that Baekbeom Road. Many people in Korea are unaware. I believe this will serve as an opportunity.'

Park Hong-geun stated, 'The film , co-produced by the General Hong Beom-do Memorial Project Association and the Liberation Association, began from the question of what to inform the public on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of liberation. We aimed to clarify where the Korean Armed Forces started and to make it firmly established through the medium of film.'
