Director Irida expressed his feelings about releasing it at the same time as Bong Joon-ho's film 'Mickey 17'.

At the press and distribution premiere of the movie 「Bansu Apartment」 held at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 24th, director Irida said, `It is an honor to be in the theater at the same time as Bong Joon-ho's movie.'

Released on the 26th, 'Baeksu Apartment' is a mystery comic tracking drama about a white-water mirror that roams around the neighborhood and tries to realize justice, investigating neighbors to find the identity of the inter-floor noise that resonates in the apartment every 4 a.m., and is the debut feature director of the film 'Transformation'.




'Baeksu Apartment' was released at the same time as Bong Joon-ho's new film 'Mickey 17'. Director Lee said, "It's an honor to be in a movie theater at the same time as "Mickey 17" " I'm confident that everyone who participated in the film did their best. There is a difference in weight class, but our movie is a warm movie that smells like a human being. I hope a lot of people come to the theater and enjoy it."

In response to the message I want to convey through the work "First, I wanted to talk about the good influence that the nosiness caused. I wanted to tell a warm story that pulls the embers and inspires solidarity in things that degrade the quality of life around us, especially those about safety"There is also a story about unemployment. I wanted to make myself feel that even though my own engagement may seem trivial to someone, the sense of accomplishment from that engagement is by no means trivial", he explained.
