Film director Bong Joon Ho, hailed as one of the greatest Korean film directors of the 21st century, has complimented actor and idol star Park Yoochun of JYJ on his acting skills.
On July, the press conference for the upcoming thriller “Sea Fog” was held. Bong Joon Ho attended the conference as a producer on the film, while Park Yoochun was also present as he is one of the main actors of the movie.
