Interview with Director
Choi Donghoon in London
Honorary Reporter, U.K.
Choi Donghoon is a film director and screenwriter who has enjoyed commercial success with his films ¡°The Thieves¡± (2012) and ¡°Assassination¡± (2015), with each selling over 12 million tickets.
I met him back in 2012, when his comedy ¡°The Thieves¡± premiered as one of the opening movies of the London Korean Film Festival. He was friendly as we exchanged a few words and took a photo together.
A decade later on Nov. 3 this year, I saw him again but this time as a Korea.net Honorary Reporter after receiving media credentials. This year¡¯s festival had as its opening film his sci-fi action thriller ¡°Alienoid.¡± I reminded him of our meeting 10 years ago, and he asked me if he had changed. I paused while showing him the photo I took of us back then. He said, ¡°Oh my god, I changed a lot!¡±
