Director Jang Hang-jun shared advice on the hardships and successes of being a filmmaker at the '2026 New Content Academy (NCA) Showcase'. He emphasized the need to be insensitive to hardship rather than pursuing a stable life, and stressed the importance of constantly practicing and observing to develop creativity. He also warned against becoming complacent with success and falling into mannerisms. Director Jang emphasized that human thought is important even in the age of artificial intelligence, and that it is important to follow one's own interests and enjoyment rather than the public's taste. He cited 'The King and I' as a grateful work, and revealed that his most beloved work is 'Rebound', which is unknown to the world.
