Director Lee Joon-ik recommended 'My Old Oak' through the distributor. He said, "Ken Loach is a director who has consistently made films about the powerless and the dispossessed living their lives with dignity as members of society," and added, "In a world where it is hard enough to survive alone, this film shows why neighbors who ask 'Are you okay?' are necessary, and it gives strength and courage in a harsh and difficult world."
