"The Outlaws" accumulated total of 6.8 million views since its release date. Yoon Kye-sang shared, "We were actually wishing for just going over 2 million views in the beginning. At the celebratory party, the views hit 3 million. I thought it was a dream. I had so much fun checking the total views every day".

The actor also shared a bit fellow cast member Jin Sun-kyu. "When I was in the drama "Road No. 1", I met Jin Sun-kyu. He was such a splendid actor, I became his pupil. When he won the Best Supporting Actor award at 2017 Blue Dragon Film Awards, I thought a miracle happened. As I watch watching him give his acceptance speech, I was in tears".

Yoon Kye-sang is currently filming a new movie "MAL-MO-E: The Secret Mission". He said that unlike "The Outlaws", it's a heartwarming story full of hope.
