I don't usually watch a lot of TV, but Mad Men changed my perspective. I admire Matthew Weiner who came up with the idea and wrote such a great TV series, and the broadcasting company for being bold enough to air such a series.

In my opinion, all relationships between people have some sort of violence, and it is central.

I've read all of Sarah Waters's novels which have been translated into Korean.

I've always had an interest in vampire films - not just 'Nosferatu,' but there are many others that I have enjoyed: Abel Ferrara,Coppola, Neil Jordan.

Whenever I visit a city, I like to see what classical music concerts are on offer.

I tend not to use the humor which would only apply to Koreans, or which would only affect the Koreans, as much as I can.

I'm not the kind of director who aims to send a message out.
