FunTranscript
00:00 There were big earthquakes in Korea, so all the buildings have collapsed around, but there's
00:12 one building remaining standing called Hwanggung Apartment.
00:16 It was extremely cold weather with the cold waves, so the survivors around the building
00:22 started to gather around the building.
00:24 It's a story about the conflict between the residents of the Hwanggung Apartment and the
00:33 outsiders trying to come in.
00:41 Simply put, it's the conflict between the valuing the humanity and also being able to
01:00 survive this extreme situation.
01:01 I wanted the audience to compare that situation to their own values and perspectives as they're
01:08 watching the film.
01:20 I like the fact that there are various people and they make their own choices and how these
01:24 choices lead to different results within the film.
01:29 And I also like that there's no absolute evil or good in this film.
01:39 What was interesting for me was that I could actually imagine what it would be like to
01:44 be in this kind of situation and the stories about these various types of people.
01:49 I think that was the most interesting part.
01:55 First of all, I tried to put a lot of Korean elements to show the audience that the Korean
02:01 people in this extreme situation will be able to show this kind of behavior.
02:11 For example, you see these people dancing and singing in the midst of all this chaos.
02:16 And as Koreans, we kind of talk about that we never stop partying.
02:27 So those are the aspects where Korean audience would definitely enjoy and laugh.
02:32 But yesterday when we were watching the film, there were other parts that people were really
02:35 enjoying and laughing together and that was surprising for me.
02:43 I think that balance for me is really up to the director.
02:46 I think it's the director's ability to show those two sides.
02:55 I think as an actor, I just try my best to do my role.
02:58 I think that's all I do.
03:05 I think there's so many different characters and as actors to play those various roles,
03:09 I think we are coming together and that's how we created this harmony.
03:25 It's a post-apocalyptic genre film, but I didn't want it to look like a sci-fi film
03:30 or I didn't want it to look like a fantasy movie.
03:32 I wanted it to be really realistic.
03:35 So within that frame, I wanted to add some comedic element and other elements as well.
03:48 I think my ideas are slightly different.
03:50 I think the Korean movies are just being introduced to the global audiences through these many
03:54 different platforms.
04:02 There are other great Korean films prior to this being introduced to the world, but I
04:07 think because now that people are more interested in Korean culture itself, that they are trying
04:11 to look for these films and going back to looking more films.
04:21 I think it's amazing for us to be in the industry and working in this industry.
04:29 Like I said, I think there were always good films that existed.
04:36 Korea has rapidly developed right after the Korean War.
04:45 So there's a lot of cultural, political, social elements that's not being filtered and it's
04:49 just coming all out.
04:53 I guess those raw, unfiltered material that's coming out from Korea, I guess the global
05:09 audience will be more interested in seeing that because it's different than what they're
05:13 used to being seen.
05:22 Yeah.
