What's left behind the scenes
- The final scene with the photograph features a melody from the Russian folk song 'Luchinushka'.
- Filming was impossible in the actual Joint Security Area, so a replica of the area was built.
- During the conversation on the bridge, one can hear loudspeakers installed on both sides of the demilitarized zone, broadcasting non-stop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. The adversaries relentlessly attempt to convince soldiers from the opposing camp of the merits of their political system.
- During a conversation on the bridge between Major Sophie Chan, played by Lee Jun-e, and the Swede, an incident that occurred on August 18, 1976, is mentioned. Several UN mission personnel entered the demilitarized zone to cut branches of poplar trees obstructing the view from the guard post. There, they were attacked by North Korean soldiers armed with axes. Two US Army officers and four South Korean soldiers were killed. Four Americans were also injured.
- At the beginning of the episode with the South Korean patrol, around the 31st minute of the film, a small hill is visible. In reality, this is a grave.
- It was impossible to film in the actual unified security zone, so a copy of it was built.
