Is there anyone who doesn’t know David’s stone. The story of David and Goliath that is told in 〈Robot Taekwon V〉(1976), and 〈General Tolly〉, and the 〈Ureomei〉 series, and countless other children’s animations and feature films—was also made by director Kim Cheong-gi, known for creating them all.

[Interview] Jo In-sung on ‘Hope’: Taking a bold leap for a cinematic thrill only humans can deliver, Part 2

※This interview with 〈Hope〉 actor Jo In-sung continues from Part 1. Imagining and acting opposite an imagined being must have been a major challenge. In particular, when Seong-gi confronts a gigantic alien intelligence late in the film, his subtle eye movements and tiny facial shifts were striking.
