In the shirtless scene, Lee Je-hoon said he thought this would be his last shirtless scene ever owing to his age, which was why he was willing to work so hard to make an impact. And in the end, he looked so cool that director Lee Dan thanked him directly. Lee Je-hoon said that since filming that scene, he has lost the abs that made it so memorable.

Lee Je-hoon acted as if much of the difficult work that happened in "Taxi Driver 2" was chiefly because Lee Dan was aggressive in making his actors do what was necessary for the performance.
