On the same day, Choi Min-sik said, "It's been a long time since I last saw Director Park Chan-wook and Yoo Ji-tae," and reflected, "It feels like the 20 years have passed in a dream."

Yoo Ji-tae said, "'Oldboy' was filmed when I was 29 years old. It is amazing to have a screening and meet the audience 20 years later. When I was young, just acting alongside a respected director and senior actors was exciting and nerve-wracking, and I felt the same emotions while filming. I feel exactly the same way now as I did then."

Lee Jin-joo, the programmer of KT&G Sangsangmadang Cinema who planned the event, said, "It was meaningful not only to feel the passionate energy from the audience but also the pleasant excitement of the director and actors."

'Oldboy' is being specially screened every 21st of the month at KT&G Sangsangmadang Cinema until November 21, the original theatrical release date 20 years ago.
