Lee Jung-jae said in a special session 'Lee Jung-jae: Endless Challenge' at the 2024 BroadCast World Wide (BCWW) held at the COEX Conference Room in Samseong-dong, Seoul on the afternoon of the 27th that he decided to spend his time more diligently while watching the movie 'The Thieves' senior Lim Dal-hwa.
Lee Jung-jae made his directorial debut through the film 「Hunt」 released in 2022 and won the 43rd Blue Dragon Film Award for Best New Director. "When I just debuted, I heard a lot of stories about actors only acting. I shouldn't do anything else and I had to live my life focusing only on acting. Back then, it was in the early 90s, so young people in their 20s had a little flirtation. 'Why can't I do that?' I've always had the question that," he said.
Then, after about 10 to 15 years, I was envious to see the singers working as singer-songwriters about the reason why I tried directing. When I saw him release the album with the story he thought, I thought it would be good for filmmakers to work in other fields. At that time, I saw Lim Dal-hwa having a busy schedule when filming the movie 'The Thieves'. My senior always refers to me as a movie star. The story touched my heart, and watching him save his time and spend all his time on the movie without wasting it 'I should also write it diligentlyIt occurred to me that '", he explained.
Meanwhile, BCWWW is an event hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Minister Yoo In-chon) and co-hosted by the Korea Creative Content Agency (Director Cho Hyun-rae) and COEX, and will be held for three days from the 27th to the 29th.
