“I was taken aback when I first read the script... I was not sure if I could pull off the role,” he recalled. The action thriller also stars acclaimed South Korean actors Ha Jung-woo, 46, as the airliner’s first officer who attempts to stop the young terrorist from defecting to the North; and Sung Dong-il, 60, who plays the captain of the flight.“I sought their advice and asked them how my performance would fit into the big picture, as this was my first time playing such an emotional role,” said Yeo, adding that Ha and Sung would take him out for meals where they further bonded.
