It should be of little surprise that the production team behind "Forest" would feel afflicted by the Gangwon fires. After all, the main character is a rescue 119 worker. Filming and preparation events were also canceled when the fires broke out on April 4th.

In a statement Park Hae-jin said that there wasn't anything to say to the victims of the fire. Feeling that words of comfort alone were not enough, Park Hae-jin wanted to go to the site directly and see what people needed.

Jo Bo-ah also stated that she was hurt to see so much pain appear so suddenly as a result of the fires. She said that whatever little they could do to help, they wanted to do to help. Jo Bo-ah went on to say that she hoped they could all find the strength to carry on.

A person related to the production of "Forest" said that the production team was of one mind on this issue, and felt that acting as a large group was the most meaningful gesture they could make. However, the source also noted that the production team was thinking realistically in terms of what they could do.
