I don't intentionally make my films with the express goal of surprising the viewer.

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

I like to draw my storyboards myself.

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 really hate the creature film convention that says you have to wait until the end to see the monster. One hour and all you've seen is just the tip of the creature's tail.

No matter where I am working, I cannot make a film without 100% creative control and final cut. If there is such a guarantee, I can work anywhere.

I think each film should be regarded as its own specific text.
