Director Statement

Directing and acting a movie is like being reborn every time. For me, every moment is an opportunity and a step to start something.
I try to put the world where people live in my work. I want to create a work that explores a person's breath, temperature, and life in the midst of an excessive crowd every day. We intend to continue this exploration until one day we can make a movie in various languages around the world, not in Korean.
