Director Na Hong-jin expressed a confident view that "there are certain ghosts".
On the afternoon of the 2nd, at the press conference for the movie 'Rangjong' held at CGV in Yongsan, Seoul, Na Hong-jin, who started as a producer, and Banjong Pisandanakun from Thailand, who directed the film, attended.
As a film about Thai shamanism, a rather principled question was asked, "Do you believe in ghosts?"
Regarding this, director Banjong said, "I've been asked a lot of questions like that since I was filming 'Shutter', but in fact, I don't think there are ghosts. However, while researching shamans for this film, I was interested. answered.
On the other hand, director Na Hong-jin said, "Unlike director Banjong, I believe that there are ghosts. When preparing for 'Wailing', I really wanted to know (about the existence of ghosts). They said that they each felt differently. So I will tell you clearly now. (Ghosts) exist," he said confidently.
He added, "I'm afraid of horror movies, so I go home early because I'm afraid of ghosts. Somebody said there were ghosts in the office, so I went home before 10 o'clock."
'Rangjong' is a three-month record about the blood of a shaman family that is passed down through a mountain village in Thailand. Director Na Hong-jin participated in the planning and production of the original plan, and Thai director Ban Jong, famous for 'Shutter' and 'Film', took the megaphone.
The movie will be released on the 14th.
