Choi Min-sik made a speech saying, ""The Admiral: Roaring Currents" achieved a lot in terms of numbers and in appearance. It was a shameful, reflecting time for me. I had heard multiple stories about the Admiral ever since my younger days so I was boastful about it. I wanted to see why he fought, his eyes and even his hair. Now, I don't know why I was so stubborn".

"I was broken in front of such a great man; the Admiral had awakened me. I thought I was working hard, but I still had a long way to go and I had been depending on worthless imagination. This movie was a reflection on myself for a better me. I suffered but it meant a lot".

Choi Min-sik played the role of Lee Soon-sin the Admiral in the movie, "The Admiral: Roaring Currents".
