Fate, a traditional dark action movie, stars two leading
Korean actors, Song Seung-heon and Kwon Sang-woo.
Both actors appeared together
in the movie 'Make It Big' in 2002 and
remain very good friends in real life. Fate is attracting a great deal of
attention both domestically and internationally, as audiences want to see
the progressive acting abilities of both actors. The director is Kim Hae-gon, who gained acclaim with such unique and touching movies as Failan and Between Love and Hate. It is expected that Kim will make the rough world of men look attractive. Song Seung-heon chose Fate as the project through which he would return to acting after finishing his military duty. He plays the character Woo-min, who is quiet but also explosive. Song Seung-heon successfully handled violent and intense action scenes. Kwon Sang-woo plays the role of a villain for the first time and demonstrates superior acting. Just looking into his eyes will make movie goers understand what a coldhearted and spiteful person Cheol-jung is. It is a film that sets up expectations for the confrontational relationship between the two actors, who are challenging themselves and showing a different side by playing the type of characters they have not played before. |

 ●Community sports center in Topyeong-dong, Guri
The scene where Woo-min gets a goal during a football match and Cheol-jung shouts and hugs Woo-min was filmed at a community sports facility in Guri. In this particular scene, four friends—Woo-min, Cheol-jung, Yeong-hwan, and Do-wan—demonstrate strong friendship and happiness. This is a community sports facility located in Topyeong-dong, Guri City, near Guri Tower, which is a Guri City landmark. The facility has a soccer field, gate-ball field, and swimming pool, yet there is no football field, so the soccer field was used for the football scene, which was covered with artificial grass for the shoot. Guri Tower, which is located beside the sports facility, has a restaurant and observatory. It presents a lively sight every night with its colorful lighting. |
