[이주현 편집장] Song Kang-ho’s timing

The closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival (hereinafter referred to as the Cannes Film Festival) on May 28th. class I heard that the team will be attending the closing ceremony (yes, this is the Cannes Film Festival again. It’s been 3 weeks and you’ll be bored, but this time I can’t stop talking about Cannes). To be honest, Song Kang-ho’s Best Actor award was not in my winning scenario. As soon as I saw the movie, no, as soon as I saw the first scene, I said, ‘After all, Song Kang-ho is Song Kang-ho,’ haha-ho-ho, but when I recalled Song Kang-ho’s gems one after another, he Receiving the Best Actor Award for Best Actor was like an award at the right time. However, I think that the award is the result of an exquisite combination of luck and timing. This year, it was the timing that Song Kang-ho would receive, and it was also the timing that Song Kang-ho made.

Before leaving for the Cannes Film Festival, Song Kang-ho I had a long interview with I was thrilled to receive this Palme d’Or at the time and participated as a judge last year. It was because I wanted to hear the story of how he won the Palme d’Or for the first time, and his impressions of coming to Cannes in succession as an actor in this year’s competition section (Is this a foresight?). In any case, in a pre-departure interview conducted by reporter Song Kyung-won, Song Kang-ho relaxedly said, “I will enjoy the Cannes Film Festival and come.” “This year’s expectations for Korean films are very high, so the burden is special. But I’m going to have fun. Just being invited to a competition is the same as having already won an award. As a judge, no one really knows who won the award.” Song Kang-ho, an experienced actor who was ready to enjoy the film festival, finally smiled brightly at Cannes, holding the Best Actor trophy in his arms. In an interview right after the award, he calmly said, “I can’t act to receive the award, and there are no actors who do that.” As such, he felt the aura of a great actor in his attitude of calmly talking about ‘there will be no change’ in moments of excitement.

On the day that I witnessed the beautiful two-shot of Chan-wook Park and Kang-ho Song in front of my nose, I was unable to realize how thrilling and historic this scene was as I was showing off my professional spirit. 3 years ago These are the words of reporters who went to Cannes for coverage when they were awarded the Palme d’Or, even though this experience is something that I’ve never experienced while working as a film reporter. When I returned to Korea and reviewed my time in Cannes, I was grateful to director Park Chan-wook and actor Song Kang-ho. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the two people who have made a memorable Korean film history.
