Anecdotes

Poongsan is a 2011 South Korean action thriller film directed by Juhn Jai-hong, starring Yoon Kye-sang and Kim Gyu-ri.

Production

Written and co-produced by Kim Ki-duk, and directed by his protégé Juhn Jai-hong, the ₩200 million (US$185,580) film was shot over 25 takes in just 30 days, while the entire cast and crew took part in the project with no guarantee. "I wanted to show that it is possible to make a film with passion rather than money," Juhn told reporters at a press preview.

Kim handed Juhn the story idea for Poongsan in fall 2010, saying he wanted a young director to bring a fresh perspective to inter-Korean issues. Juhn, known as an "artsy" filmmaker (his directorial debut Beautiful premiered at Berlin), wanted to make a fun, edgy film that was first and foremost popcorn entertainment. Juhn had to fight to cast Yoon Kye-sang in the lead role, having been impressed by his piercing gaze in The Moonlight of Seoul.

Juhn, a former opera singer, featured his own voice for Schumann's Die Lotosblume. Tim Starnes, whose credits include The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and the second and third of the Lord of the Rings franchise, edited the soundtrack.
