Program Note

Public telephone booths – they used to be everywhere, they exist somewhere but no one is looking for them. They are left alone and forgotten here and there in a city, but perhaps a few people may still be looking for them. The Other Day, the music video directed by Kim Jong-kwan for a new song by Park Hyo-shin, is a poem-like film as its ambiguous title suggests, for those who paint different times, or those who have no time to spend except on the stars on the sky. This is a lonesome yet warm consolation for those who stay up a lonely night in a corner of a city. (MO Eun-young)
