When you first think of making a monster movie you have to realize that a lot of people may be down on you because there is a big prejudice against such films.

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.

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

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

I think when one becomes very close to another person, it can mean loving and intimacy, but on the other hand, there's also the danger of one destructing another under the name of love. I think that is the scariest thing for me in various relationships.

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

I like to draw my storyboards myself.
