The press conference of the movie was held at 11 a.m. yesterday at the Ehwa Girls' High School Memorial Auditorium. "Man of Vendetta"'s director and writer, Woo Min-ho, and cast members Kim Myung-min, Eom Gi-oon, Park Joo-mi and Kim So-hyun attended the event.

During the briefing, Kim Myung-min was asked about his preparation for his role as a pastor. Kim Myung-min replied that as he is used to seeing a pastor preach every Sunday, he need not prepare much for the role.

Kim Myung-min was raised in a devout Christian family and grew up attending church with his parents. His family lives 2 minutes away from the Presbyterian church where his father serves as a church elder, and his mother as a senior deaconess. His two uncles are also pastors, and Kim Myung-min himself is an ordained deacon.

When asked if the movie is anti-Christian, Kim Myung-min said "no". He explained that his role, a pastor, is only an occupation of the character. He added that though this role may be burdensome to him as a Christian, the movie talks about hope and gives the audience a happy ending. Because of that, he felt good when he finished filming the movie.

"Man of Vendetta" opens on July 1st.
