The two co-stars and their gritty performances were also what made The Chaser a hit. Young Ha Jung-woo had up until that time starred in films such as the army suicide drama The Unforgiven – YOON Jong-bin’s debut film which screened in Cannes and the Korean-American production <Never Foreve>r opposite Vera Farmiga, directed by Gina KIM. A conscientious actor building his career, he had also appeared in KIM Ki-duk’s Time and Breath, but also took on supporting roles in lighter films such as She’s on Duty where KIM Seon-ah plays an undercover cop in a high school.
In the same year as The Chaser, Ha also appeared in four other films including LEE Yoon-ki’s drama My Dear Enemy, opposite JEON Do-yeon, and YOON Jong-bin’s Beastie Boys in which he plays a scheming male companion in a “host bar” catering in female clientele.
Since then, in addition to supporting roles in films such as HONG Sang-soo’s Like You Know It All, HA has starred in the hit ski jump film Take Off and the Korean-Japanese co-production Boat opposite Tsumabuki Satoshi, directed by KIM Young-nam.
HA says he decided to take on The Yellow Sea because of the script and a mutual respect for the director and his co-star. “I really liked the script. The power contained within the film, the characters that centered around the story are what made me choose this project. Also, I wanted to work with director NA and KIM Yoon-suk once more,” he said. “When I thought about why [my character] had to cross the Yellow Sea and the circumstances behind it, I felt the drama was very humanistic. He was an ordinary person with a wife and child, and I could understand and sympathize with the process of his turning into a monster when his loved ones were threatened and in danger.”

About the trials and tribulations the actors had to go through, he says, “I think it was a difficult script to realize into images. The directions were all there, but expressing them was not an easy task. I especially feel sorry towards Ha Jung-woo because he had the hardest time of us all shooting all the action scenes.”
“KIM Yoon-suk is an actor with an inner strength that is unlike any other. Ha Jung-woo is an actor who moves instinctively and becomes that character,” remarked Na Hong-jin. “When I watched them during the shoot, I was continually surprised and always learned a lot from them. When I got to editing, I eventually learned that every single frame held a surprising discovery.”
