Director Park Chan-wook gave an honest answer about unemployment, an important topic in the movie, in an interview with the thriller crime black comedy film 'I Can't Help It' (produced by Mohofilm) on the afternoon of the 23rd.
Director Park Chan-wook said, `I also talk a lot with Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin. And when Lee Seong-min, Park Hee-soon, and Yeom Hye-ran gather, they discuss the same topic. I'm relieved that I'm stable for now, but I used to feel a lot of fear (about unemployment). Don't you know what's going to happen as you get older? We are always in a state of potential job insecurity. In my case, I'm not a person who makes low-budget movies, so sometimes it's hard to invest. It's connected 'There's nothing we can do about it' is also what came out."
It also added to its concerns about the budget. Director Park Chan-wook said, `I think there will be a separate plan that requires work on low budget production costs. Yeon Sang-ho recently made 'Face'200 million won, but if 'Train to Busan', can't you say you'd take it like that? If I have a story or plan like 'face', I would like to make it as much as I want. In addition, for such work, you have to make an excuse to the staff and actors. It's not an easy task, but director Yeon Sang-ho is amazing."
'There's nothing I can do about it' is a story about an office worker whose life was satisfactory enough to feel that 'I've accomplished ' after he was fired, preparing for his own war against reemployment to protect his wife and two children, to protect his hard-won home. Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, Yeom Hye-ran, and Cha Seung-won appeared, and director Park Chan-wook of 'Old Boy'"'"Kind Geumja-si'"'"'"Lady"Decision to Break Up" took the megaphone. It will be released on the 24th.
