Gye-na (Go Ah-seong), an office worker in her late 20s, wakes up crying every morning. It takes two hours to get from my house in Incheon to my office in Gangnam, Seoul. In a company, you become a cog and turn the wheel. But I don’t know why I’m rolling this wheel or where it’s going. Kye: She hates the terrible winters in Korea. She hates unreasonable instructions from her boss. Gye-na hates Korea.
movie <한국이 싫어서>depicts the story of Gye-na, a penguin who hates the cold, leaving Korea and heading to New Zealand. <한여름의 판타지아> <최악의 하루>Directed by Jang Geon-jae. This film, which asks ‘what is happiness’ through what the young generation experiences while living and leaving Korea, is the opening film of the 28th Busan International Film Festival, which opened on the 4th. This festival started in a somewhat depressed atmosphere due to the so-called ‘weak international situation’ and the sluggish performance of Korean films.

Director Jang read the book in the fall of 2015, when the original novel was published. At a press conference held this followingnoon at the Central Theater of the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae-gu, Busan, he said, “The period from 2014 to 2016 was a time when Korean society experienced great changes such as the Sewol Ferry disaster, the Gangnam Station murder case, and the MeToo movement, and this novel was in the middle of it.” I was interested in a novel that spoke openly regarding contemporary Korean society through the female protagonist’s voice. “She wanted to translate that voice into film,” she explained.

This film festival was held in an unprecedented situation where the entire leadership position was vacant due to personnel issues and sexual harassment controversy. Led by Chief Programmer Nam Dong-cheol, we have set up an agency system and prepared for the film festival. At the opening ceremony to open the festival, actor Song Kang-ho welcomed guests on behalf of the chairman and executive chairman. As the budget, size of invited works, and some forum events were also reduced compared to previous years, concerns were raised regarding whether the event might be held safely.
On this day <한국이 싫어서> Acting Executive Chairman Nam Dong-cheol, who attended the press conference, expressed confidence, saying, “We did our best to prepare” despite the negative news. “There were many difficulties, but I think we prepared well. “There is a lot to prepare and prepare, so I hope you will come and enjoy it.”
