Director Shin Yeon-sik of '1 Win' Volleyball-based movie, I tried because no one directed it



Director Shin Yeon-sik told how he came to direct the movie based on volleyball.

Director Shin Yeon-sik said at a press conference on the 28th at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, `I made it because no one did it, but there was a reason why I didn't do it. It's a really difficult sport, but it has a dynamic charm."

Released in December, '1 Win' is a story about a professional women's volleyball team that has no chance of winning, including a coach who has never won, a team owner who does not intend to win, and even players who do not know how to win, and director Shin Yeon-sik of the films 'Casiofea' and 'In Between Eyes' took the megaphone.



Director Shin said about the reason for directing the movie based on 'Volleyball"No one did it, so I made it, but there was a reason why I didn't do it. Volleyball is a really difficult sport. Basically, it is a very difficult sport to control the ball. It's an indoor sport, but it's very dynamic. "We decided that it's time to implement it, and if we could show the movement of the ball well, we could convey the charm of the sport to the audience.", he explained.

He then briefly mentioned the actor casting process. Director Shin said, `When I got married and my child went to kindergarten, I thought that I would like the whole family to watch my movie happily in the theater.' When "DONGJU" was released, I talked a lot with Jung-min, and I had a feeling that I would be a better actor in the future. I wanted to cast him because I thought he would not play the role of the second generation of conglomerates even though he plays the role of a yangban. Yoon-joo saw her hanging out with her model juniors at her agency's sports day, and she had unique leadership. I talked to Song Kang-ho in private when I was preparing a different work. Director Kim Woo-jin is originally a young character, but if the senior is like this, he said that it would be good for people who are a little older than him to do it. Later, when I thought about it again after a while, I thought what my senior said was right, so I came to suggest the work."
