“The dream I had when I was 17 years old came true at the age of 57,” he said. “I have never been this nervous about standing at the press conference. I couldn’t sleep last night.”

“It was four years ago that I thought I should be a director. Even before that, I wrote two scenarios. But I threw them away because they were familiar stories. This is a new one, and it became a movie,” he added. “This was made into a film thanks to great actors. I had a desire to take the story to an unexpected place.”

He also recalled the filming process as a director. “I was delighted,” he said. “I think I only slept an average of three hours a day. I had plenty of time to sleep, but that’s what happened after preparing and practicing with the rookie actors. It was physically tough, but I was happy as if I had taken great restoratives,” he smiled.

Actor Cho Jin Woong starred as Park Hyung Goo, a detective in distress after everything about him had disappeared overnight. As for a reason for choosing Cho Jin Woong, Jung Jun Young answered, “When I wrote the script, I wrote it in detail, and I naturally thought of Cho Jin Woong and wrote while imagining him acting.”

Regarding Cho Jin Woong’s decision to appear in Me and Me, Cho Jin Woong said, “There’s quite a subtle taste in the work. It’s hard to explain. If there was no perception that director Jung Jin Young wrote it, I would have felt like I found a treasure hidden under the ocean. I even asked if he really wrote it.”

He also praised Jung Jin Young’s abilities as a director. “Only the position has changed. The essence of him had not changed at all. I’m sure he will set an exemplary example for many actors. Even for me, he became a good role model of what to do if I become a director.”

Me and Me, directed by Jung Jin Young, will be released on June 18.
