Director Statement

Why do we want to win so much? And why, when victory finally gets close, does fear suddenly hit us? For a long time, I wondered if heartbreak would come again. But this time, it didn’t. This time, we won.
And in that moment, I realized something simple and true: Those tears weren’t sadness at all—they were what it feels like to become champions.
