I regard remaking a film as creating something again.

I have a complex feeling about genre. I love it, but I hate it at the same time. I have the urge to make audiences thrill with the excitement of a genre, but I also try to betray and destroy the expectations placed on that genre.

I don't write any kind of sequel or remake.

In the grand scheme of nature, I believe that it is very natural that animals eat animals, and that humans eat animals. It is only in the last couple of decades that meat-processing factories have come to rise, and I believe we should take time to reflect on that reality.

I'm sure mothers are important across every culture, but particularly in Korean society, the role of the mother is of great importance.

I am a fan of the monster and horror genre but that's not my style as a director.

There is a lot of extreme emotion in Korean film. It's because there are a lot of extremes in Korean society.
