Stars of “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” sat down to share their feelings about their last day in Korea via Naver V app Thursday.
During the broadcast, which were their last official schedule in Korea, Colin Firth, Taron Egerton and Mark Strong took turns to express their love for Korea and how much they appreciated Korean fans’ warm welcoming.
“I want to stay in Korea forever. I will visit Korea again,” said Firth, surprising viewers by saying “I love you” in Korean.
“There are many analogies between Korea and England. I think both countries consider ‘manner’ very important, and maybe that’s why Korean fans liked our movie so much. Also, suit is the thing here. I think Koreans have high interest in fashion,” he added.
Mentioning about the red carpet event that took place earlier on Wednesday, Taron Egerton also said that he met about 4000 fans and he was deeply impressed about their passion for the movie.
The three actors attended a press conference for the movie at CGV Yongsan in Seoul, Thursday. The 2014 comedy-action flick “Kingsman: The Secret Service” was a major box office hit here, selling over 6 million tickets. “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” hit Korean theaters on Wednesday.

Sechs kies members shared backstories behind releasing their latest full-length album “Another Light” via Naver V app Thursday.
“We put more emphasis on ballads, such as ‘Something Special’ and ‘Smile,’ than dance numbers,” member Lee Jai-jin said.
Eun Ji-won also said, “After all these years, I feel like I get judged by public each time we drop a new album.”
“Since the latest release was a full-length album, our spiritual leader Yang Hyun-suk, the head of YG Entertainment, put a lot of effort in monitoring each of our songs,” he added.
At the end of the broadcast, all six members stressed that they’ve recently realized how important they were to each other and extended their gratitude to fans, saying, “But the most important are our fans.”
In celebration of the album. Sechs Kies will hold a concert at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on Saturday.
