'My Mister' Director Kim Won-seok could not hide his sorrow at the death of the late Lee Sun-kyun.

Director Kim Won-seok said at the Lotte Cinema Centum City branch in Haeundae-gu, Busan on the afternoon of the 4th, "'Special Talk: Remembering the late Lee Sun-kyun - My Mister' that the public tolerated people such as media companies, police, and prosecutors who published outrageous articles. If they published an article and were criticized, they wouldn't have made it.'

The 2018 drama 'My Mister' tells the story of three brothers who are enduring the weight of their lives in their own ways, and a tough and cold woman who is different from them but has been going through difficulties in life, looking at the other's life and healing each other. Director Kim Won-seok and writer Park Hae-young, who directed 'Misaeng' and 'Signal', have drawn attention with their trusted production lineup.

Ko Sun-kyun suddenly passed away in December last year while under police investigation for drug use. Director Kim said, `I was forced to not attend Sun-kyun's funeral""I think this is the beginning of an event to commemorate Sun-kyun." I think there will be various events to remember why Sun-kyun died and what kind of person he was. Thank you for the first start at the Busan International Film Festival, Korea's largest film festival." Park Ho-san says, "I think Sun-kyun is the character in the drama`I miss you,' he said briefly. Song Sae-byeok also said, `I still can't believe it.' `It's already been almost a year in two months, but I still feel like I'm having nightmares.'

Regarding the death of the late Lee Sun-kyun, director Kim said "The public is a powerhouse in the media industry, and I think they know that well." I hope you give me a little more chance before you cut it. I thought I could give a chance even if I committed a crime, but this was not a crime and there was no evidence. It was a difficult situation for the public" expressed his anger.

Then "It's such a situation, and I think the work I proposed would have been a big burden on Sun-kyun. I am heartbroken. I hope you're more careful"The absolute power is you. The actors are really weak. It would not exist without your support and support. Shouldn't we punish such a person for leaking outrageous false investigations. Especially these days, I think about that a lot. How hard would it be for the public to turn a blind eye and be blamed for the attack. That's what gets cut off."

In the meantime, "It is because the public tolerates people such as media companies, police, and prosecutors who have published articles that are personally outrageous. If they published the article, they wouldn't have published it if they were criticized," he said, adding that the public already knows itself well that it is a powerhouse in the media era.

Meanwhile, at the 29th Busan International Film Festival, a special planning program was organized to commemorate the late Lee Sun-kyun, the winner of the Korean Film Achievement Award. In the special program 'Paju', 'Our Seonhee', 'We Go to the End', 'Parasite', 'Land of Happiness', and 'My Mister', we will have time to look back on the world of in-depth works through special talk.
