The English translation reads,

"More than anything else, it was a very, very, very fun filming that made me realize that the process is precious. I wanted to keep going, hoping that the filming wouldn’t end… If there is a meeting, in the end parting is… ㅠ Conversation summary written in handwriting…We ask for your interest, anticipation, and love for the movie ‘Jungi’. -Thank you so much for the coffee tea!"
