Director Kim Sung-hong

Capturing the human psyche in depth by a master of thrillers.

Director Kim Sung-hong attempts to reveal the meaning of both love and hatred in this film. In "Say Yes," he shows how powerless people can be when unmotivated acts of violence and the fear of death confront them. By doing this, he criticizes a part of modern society in which people seek violence and cheap thrills.
Director Kim Sung-hong is Korea's most successful and premier storyteller. He won Best Screenplay for his film "Happiness is Not a Grade" at the Baeksang Art Awards in 1989. He also wrote numerous scripts such as the "Two Cops" series and "Who Saw the Dragon's Claw?" He showed his gifted directing talent in "Fingernail" and "The Hole," and has been critically praised as the preeminent director of thriller films in Korea.
Compared to his past films, where he shows his specialty in showing the details of the human psyche, this time he adds speedy and dynamic action sequences in "Say Yes."
