Two posters for the movie Pacemaker

The Press event for Pacemaker was held on 20 December 2011, from 11am, at the Lotte Cinema at Konkuk University.

Sharp dressed Kim Myung Min appeared with the director and costars at this press event. They informed the press about the completion of the movie.

Kim Myung Min has worked very hard for this movie. Now, the release date is only a month away (19 January 2012 ).

During the interview section of the event, Kim Myung Min told about the reason he wore fake teeth in the movie. "I am barely able to speak when I run hard. And, in such situations, my eyes and the mouth become standing out."

"So I thought how can I accentuate the teeth and the gums.

Thinking about Man Ho, who had led a hard life for his brother, and thinking about the way to express his painful breathing, I reached the idea of wearing the artificial teeth. "

And he also shared some details about the filming.

"In London, we did the shooting all the time, because the sun didn't set until late.
When we finally finished the shooting of the day, the sun rose again soon after that and we started the next day's filming. I was really surprised [time passed so fast]."

"The filming was very hard, because I kept on running the whole time ."

"I thought I'd never run again, but I found myself running even now. " He laughed, "I think it became a habit for me."

"I seemed to work exstremely hard, because one staff member told me that I look ten years older than I did before I joined this movie. "

"This movie seems not finished yet to me, and I feel like it is still going on. "

"It was so hard that I regretted accepting this role," he said in good humor.

And even the director himself joked, "For a while, I don't want to make a movie about the sport."
Although they encountered a lot of difficulties during the filming, in retrospective the experience seemed to be a really enjoyable one filled with laughter.
