After the official statement from Director Kyotaro’s side was released, similar or nearly identical articles began to flood Japan.

Thus, the Japanese media replicated the official statement faster than light.
Finally, a clear answer had emerged.

-Of course, it was Kang Woojin! I like it! He’s a good actor.
-I thought it was already somewhat confirmed in Korea, but why did they hide it then??
-Maybe they kept it a secret because the issue became too big?
-Still, having a Korean actor in ‘The Eerie Sacrifice of a Stranger’ which I like, is a bit…
-Kang Woojin! I really like him! Check out his YouTube, you’ll all become his fans!
-I think it’s better to have a Korean actor. Anyway, Japanese actors’ performances have been deteriorating.
-I like it too. If you have a complaint, start by watching ‘Hanryang’ on Netflix.
-It’s impressive… How did a newcomer secure a leading role?
