Will this chance meeting bring up all the feelings they thought they had left behind?

They only ever held hands as children, but you can still call that inyun because of what that is. They're not really exes, they're not really lovers.īut who they are to each other could be described by the word inyun because it can really speak to any kind of a meeting or a relationship or enduring connection where you can say it's like, ‘Well, I don't know why, but it feels like this person, and I have something really special.’ But there's no word for it and nothing really ever happened. It's really hard to describe this ineffable feeling rather than a label for who they are to each other. That was always going to be a part of my personal life, but I thought that it should be introduced in this film because of Hae Sung and Nora, the main characters of the film. That's why we must be like this." So, it is something that I think is a part of my life insofar as Korean culture is a part of my life, even though I live in New York, was educated in Canada, and things like that. You can sort of say it's like, "Oh, hey, we must be in inyun. It really is true when Nora says to Arthur, her future husband, that it is a word that you say in Korean to seduce someone because it kind of is like that. How much that was a part of your life, or have you thought about that in your own life?Ĭeline Song: I think that it is a pretty commonplace word in Korea. I love the concept of inyun and how it was so heartbreakingly employed in this film. So, I think that the magic of that or the energy of that has been really special because it is really about I'm learning so much about myself as well. Everything that I'm doing is the first time ever that I'm doing it. ![]() I think part of being a first-time filmmaker is that it is also a discovery for me. But I think that you don't really know until you're able to be there, so I'm sitting here now, and I'm just so happy that it's going to be out in the world. Because I believe that it is a story that is worth telling that it's a story that I care about. How did it grow from that seed into this beautiful tree?Ĭeline Song: I think that when I had this inspiration for this movie, and then I started just working on it, you're always hoping that this is going to get made and going to be seen by the world. I was weeping in my theater seat and I loved that this was partially inspired by just a real conversation that you had, but it's also your feature film debut.
