To recall, "Bogota" began its filming back in January 2020 in Colombia.
Unfortunately, due to the restrictions brought by the health crisis, the team was forced to delay the shooting and return to South Korea after filming 45 percent of the movie.
At the time, the production team explained that they would only postpone filming to abide by the health protocols but would still continue and finish the project.
"After a lengthy discussion, we've decided to postpone. We already completed about 45% of the filming. We won't be canceling this project in its entirety. We'll resume next year for sure and release it for the audience."
With this, the whole cast and crew returned to Korea in late March and had to go through a two-week quarantine.
In the same month, rumors sparked that "Bogota" is set to finish filming in Colombia; however due to the escalating number of COVID-19 cases it has been decided that they will finish production in South Korea.
