The multilevel, the conscious and the unconscious, is natural when I write scripts, when I come up with ideas and stories.

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.

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

I regard remaking a film as creating something again.

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

I love the Japanese director Shohei Imamura. His masterpiece in 1979 called, the English title was 'Vengeance is Mine'.

My favourite genre lies inside myself, and as I follow my favourite stories, characters and images, it sums up to a certain genre. So at times even I have to try to guess which genre a film will be after I've made it.
