The premiere of the movie "The Battleship Island" was held on the 15th. Ryoo Seung-wan, Hwang Jung-min, So Ji-sub, Song Joong-ki, Lee Jung-hyun and Kim Su-an were there.

Ryoo Seung-wan was asked about the process of casting Song Joong-ki and he said, "It was before "Descendants of the Sun". I wondered if he would accept to be in a movie where he is not the only one in the spot light. Maybe it was because he'd just been discharged but he agreed to be in the movie. I am lucky now that I think about it".

"When I first met Song Joong-ki, he was different from what I expected. I thought he'd be cold but he was outdated because he didn't fancy himself up. You would assume he'd pretty himself up a little bit as he's meeting the director of a movie. He then told me why he wants to be in the movie and I was grateful for that".

He complimented Song Joong-ki's personality.

"I've been touched a couple times on site. We filmed in high places a lot and once you go up there it's hard to come down and go back up again. Anyone would have wanted a smoke. Song Joong-ki lit up someone else's cigarette for them. He was always like that. He was considerate about every single thing anyone does".

Song Joong-ki said, "The scenario was great and I agreed to do it. The director told me I wasn't the only star in it but that didn't matter. I respect Ryoo Seung-wan and I love movies".

Meanwhile, little actress Kim Soo-ahn complimented Hwang Jung-min, her father in the movie, for his nice character.

Kim Su-an said, "Gong Yoo from "Train to Busan" is handsome and Hwang Jung-min has a good personality".
