Director Kwak said on the 12th, `There were so many twists and stories before our movie
There are also people who consider the movie "Firefighter" a target of criticism because Kwak Kyu-taek, the youngest member of my family, recently missed the impeachment vote according to the party's theory. I am also deeply disappointed and outraged by the Members of Parliament who did not even vote as a group
""Honestly, I think it is right for the president to step down on his own after wreaking havoc on the Republic of Korea and embarrassing the whole world. If not, he should be impeached."
Kwak also said, `We believe that the nation has wisely worked together to overcome the political turmoil in the past and will overcome this difficult period in late 2024.'
Meanwhile, director Kwak's film 'Firefighter' was released on the 4th and surpassed 1 million viewers in eight days. While the box office was in full swing, Kwak Kyu-taek was found to have missed the vote on the impeachment motion of President Yoon Suk Yeol, sparking a boycott of the `Firefighter.' In response, head coach Kwak seems to have conveyed his position directly.
▶Next is director Kwak Kyung-taek's position
Hello, I'm film director Kwak Kyung-taek.
Recently, there were so many twists and stories before our movie "Firefighter" met the audience. COVID-19, actor drinking, and this time even emergency martial law the day before its release. Honestly, my heart is still pounding when I think about the night of December 3rd.
And thankfully, the movie "Firefighter" is loved by many audiences, but the anxiety still surrounds my whole body. I think many people feel the same way as me.
Recently, Kwak Kyu-taek, the youngest member of my family, was absent from the impeachment vote according to the party line, so even the movie "Firefighter" is considered a target of criticism.
I am also deeply disappointed and angry at the Members of Parliament who did not even vote as a group
In the past, we believe that all people have worked together to wisely overcome the period of political chaos and will overcome this difficult period at the end of 2024.
So I sincerely hope that the story we want to tell will continue to be a world where we can express ourselves in movies or books.
