Quotes

“After shooting films with director Park Chan-wook and Ryoo Seung-wan, what I learned was that none of these directors does a single thing carelessly.”

“I want to know what I’ll become in the future. I’m excited about how my experiences will shape me. I try to embrace as many as opportunities possible to build more experience.”

“During the early days of my career, I wasn’t able to get any guidance. All I heard were discouraging words like, ‘You’re not cut out for the movies.’ But I always believed that even if I don’t have talent, I should at least do the thing I truly enjoy.”

“Though I have been very lucky. I have definitely worked very hard. Nobody expected me to be where I am today. I was fortunate that I had great opportunities come my way.”

“I love working. When I’m not working, I feel depressed. When I go to work and I’m surrounded by people, I feel useful.”

“I usually doubt myself. When I get feedback from people, I only take on negative comments, because that’s what helps me improve.”
