During the conference, Choi Byung-kyu revealed, 'I provided Jinni with unlimited tteokbokki, kimbap, and ice cream famous in Jeju Island. I bought a lot of delicious food so that she could relax with me and Yoo In-soo.' He continued, 'As time passed, I saw many moments where we immersed ourselves in the movie. Seeing that made me think our efforts were not in vain.'
