Actor Kim Soo Hyun has made a deal with the public about his latest movie 'The Thieves'.

'The Thieves' held its opening, red carpet event on the 24th at the Convention and Exhibition Center (COEX) located in the Samseong-dong area. During the premiere, Kim Soo Hyun made an appearance and was briefly interviewed.

At one point, host Kim Bum Ryong prodded Kim Soo Hyun into making a promise with the public to ensure the movie's success. Bewildered, Kim Soo Hyun started, "[If the box office number] exceeds 10 million people..."

As he hesitated, fellow co-star Kim Yoon Suk piped up playfully, "He will carry Jeon Ji Hyun on his back through the entire country."

At this, Kim Soo Hyun humorously added, "If the movie pulls in 10 million people, I will watch the movie with the ten millionth person on my back."

Regarding his performance playing the character 'Jampano', he commented, "[Though calling the characters 'The Thieves' makes them seem like extremely realistic and selfish people], Jampano at least was the most romantic."

Those who attended the red carpet event, aside from Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Yoon Suk, include actors Kim Hye Soo, Lee Jung Jae, Jeon Ji Hyun, Oh Dal Soo, and Kim Hae Sook, celebrities from abroad such as Lim Dal Hwa and Derek Tsang, and the director Choi Dong Hun. During the event, 'The Thieves' managed to grab a viewing audience of over 3000 people on the first day.
