Irish actor Liam Neeson was in Seoul for the first time on Monday to promote his film "Taken 2", which will premiere nationwide on Sept. 27.

Speaking at a press conference at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, the 60-year-old actor said his experience as an amateur boxer from age 9 to 17 helped him perform convincingly in actions scenes in the movie.

He added that the "Taken" films -- the original was released in 2008 -- turned him into an action s tar as he has been receiving "quite a few action scripts" since the first installment was released.
