On Their Fourth Team-Up, the Many Faces of Koo Kyo-hwan Through Yeon Sang-ho’s Lens

It started with Yeon Sang-ho. Koo Kyo-hwan was already a star of the independent film scene, an idol of sorts for outsiders. But if you trace the origins of how he came to appear in so many commercial projects, you arrive at Yeon’s 〈Peninsula〉.
