The director of "Battle of Myeongnyang" Kim Han Min said he was introduced to Choi Min Sik by director Yoon Jong Bin.

On August 18, Kim Han Min said, "All the directors are top notch. I hope for a win-win situation. We all know each other well."

Kim Han Min mentioned that the movie, "Kundo: Age of the Rampant" would release a week apart from "Battle of Myeongnyang," but that's not something directors can control.

When asked what direction he led Choi Min Sik in the movie, "Battle of the Myeongnyang," he said, "I didn't give him much direction. We spoke plenty before filming the movie. Choi Min sik wanted to be the Lee Soon Shin that he pictured and I wanted to capture every detail of it."

"Battle of Myeongnyang" is based in 1597 of a battle in the sea with the lead of general Lee Soon Shin. Actors Choi Min Sik, Ryu Seung Ryong, Jo Jin Woong, and Jin Goo, as well as actress Lee Jeong Hyun are the main casts.
