The film "Bogota" has decided to halt filming for a while for the safety of its staff and cast.

A representative for the film 'Bogota' (directed by Kim Sung-je), starring Song Joong-ki and Lee Hee-joon, told Newsen on March 20th,

"We decided to have the production team return to Korea for safety. We are discussing when to resume filming while monitoring the situation," they officially stated.

"Bogota" is a film that depicts the story of a protagonist who immigrates to Colombia and experiences life while settling in an unfamiliar land.

Filming began in Colombia in January of this year with an all-location shoot and was scheduled to wrap up in May.

Due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19, 'Bogota,' starring Song Joong-ki and Lee Hee-joon, is planning to halt filming and return to Korea.

The number of confirmed cases in Colombia has exceeded 20 to date.

The Colombian government is strengthening its quarantine measures, including prohibiting gatherings of over 500 people and banning the entry of individuals who have stayed in Asia or Europe for two weeks or more since March 16th.
