It's still difficult to denounce lies in Korea . It would have been impossible to make this film in the 80's. I don't think any one aspect of my work is more important than the other. I want to do both. Of course when I choose to be in a movie, my choice always involves issues that are more or less political, it's beyond my control.
People make films, but people who go see the film also make the film by the way they receive it.
It means that my image as a private person is part of my job as an actress. In Korea many stars come and go. Korea is a small country, so the market is small too. We don't produce that many films and our movies are not so diversified, so the roles an actor can get are sometimes limited, and people can get bored by an actor very quickly. In that context one can become famous in one day and disappear the next.
