“I, the Executioner” is the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2015 film “Veteran.” This sequel stars Hwang Jung Min and Jung Hae In.

Notably, at the event, Jung Hae In asked everyone to watch a fan-made remix of Rose and Bruno Mars’ “APT.”, in which clips of Hwang Jung Min’s acting performance were combined to match the lyrics of “APT.”
