On the 14th, on the YouTube channel 'Dalsune Live', how did you put up with it? From the secret of soccer in the movie to the pledge of Son Heung-min to broadcasting his mouth, a video titled 'Explosion of virtue' was posted.
In the video, Bong Joon-ho suddenly confessed "The 1990 World Cup was heard by me in a detention center" which stunned everyone.
As for the reason why he was trapped in a detention center, Bong Joon-ho said, `I violated the Act on Assembly and Demonstration. I didn't buy a serious sentence. I stayed in Yeongdeungpo detention center for about three weeks by Gypsy. It was later released on bail. "It was a four-year World Cup period," he explained," he said, expressing regret that he could not watch the game live at the time.
However, he couldn't watch it on TV, but he was able to hear the game realistically through audio.
Bong Joon-ho "I was frustrated, and I think the head of the detention center was a soccer fan. The head of the detention center was generous, so he played the live broadcast of the World Cup on a speaker broadcasting in the detention center's compound. At that time, it was against Belgium, which was the first game in Korea. It was a 2-0 loss, and I heard it on the audio..." he recalled with a smile.
Bong also talked about the recently released movie 'Mickey17'.
"'Mickey17' What's the real meaning of the number. Bong Joon-ho, who was asked the title of the original novel is 'Mickey7', was 'Mickey17' because of his soccer player Kevin De Bruyne's number 17. It's true. Movie interviews answer differently."
The name of the character in the movie is also related to soccer. Bong Joon-ho "There is a character named Berto in the novel. In the movie, actor Steven Yeun is played, and his name is Timo. It's from soccer player Timo Werner. There's also a German word for Timo as a con artist. Doesn't it go well with Steven Yeun's character. The name of the character in the movie is Kai Havertz, a soccer player. The first thing you do when writing a scenario is to name it. That's really hard. Especially if it's a foreign character," he explained, causing laughter.
