Q: How did you begin as a director?
A: I liked films even when I was young and in college I majored in film. But I didn?S't plan to be a director at first, and I was a stage actor in college. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to make my debut film after graduating.

Q: What kind of film is WILD CARD?
A: It?S's about a team of criminal detectives. These detectives have an extremely difficult job. They are not men with power and are actually neglected. WILD CARD shows the little-known reality of the detectives from a warm and positive point of view.

Q: What was your reason for choosing a detective story?
A: I interviewed many detectives while thinking about a detective story. I asked how they live, whether they are satisfied with their job, what they are paid and about their love affairs. And their responses were quite different than I thought they would be. Despite their difficult job, they were passionate and naive. I liked them and that?S's why I decided to make their story into a film.

Q: What did you want to say to the audience through WILD CARD?
A: If you meet detectives in person, you will feel their sense of duty and professionalism. Unlike other employees, they are driven by compassion for the victims of crimes and work to search for truth. I believe young people might change their career plans to become detectives (laugh).

Q: What about the others involved in the making of the film?
A: I believe in LEE Mahn-hee as a scriptwriter and we really enjoy working together. Also I knew well IM Jae-young, the lighting director, and BYUN Hee-sung, the cinematographer, and they are true friends. But most of all, they are the best in Korea and that is what mattered the most.

Q: What about detective OH Young-dahl and JUNG Jin-young?
A: OH Young-dahl is not sly or picky but is a very understanding man. He?S's tough at work but his heart is warm and he is very humane. JUNG Jin-young was just right for the role since he accurately expresses the character. It?S's not easy to find an actor who has steadily trained himself from the beginning.

Q: And what about detective BANG Jay-soo and YANG Dong-geun?
A: I believe BANG Jay-soo will become OH Young-dahl when he gets old. Jay-soo is free and he?S's a detective because he wants to be. In the film, there?S's a scene in which Jay-soo persuades the criminal, and I wonder how many actors can act like he did. He is a real method actor who has an instinct to act that kind of role. You can count on detective Jay-soo, who YANG Dong-geun portrays.
