I also think that comedians will laugh at the movies? I did that first, but director Park Chan-wook, who broke prejudice before me and stood before me as a shield against people’s prejudices, said, ‘I hope that Shin -young won the award instead,’ so I had to go on stage.”

I was able to meet Kim Shin-young. I like that I was able to meet talented people in different fields while directing a film. I met the staff. I want to share this honor with them. I want to buy you a drink tonight, but I have to give up that joy. Park Chan- wook until we meet again.”
