When I was a kid, I was always watching genre movies on TV.

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

As a director, or just a film fan who wants to enjoy the festival, Cannes is the worst place to be. But it must be a paradise for distributors and importers.

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

There's hardly any governmental censorship in Korea.

In Korean films there is only really a strong tradition of melodramas.

I have a group of cafes and coffee shops that I go to regularly. They usually have an area where I can plug in my computer and have a corner seat where I can do a couple hours of writing or whatever, even the noise of the surrounding people walking by. Those things are the things that stimulate me into writing.
