'7 years in Korea' Peter Sohn

Director Peter Sohn expressed his feelings about visiting Korea after 7 years.

On the 30th at noon, a press conference for the movie 'Elemental' (director Peter Sohn) was held at CGV Yongsan, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Peter Sohn and animator Lee Chae-yeon, who participated in the 3D animation part, attended.

On this day, director Peter Sohn said, "I can only say that it is an honor," and said, "First of all, I want to thank my parents, but they passed away while making this. My parents showed their love, and they captured it in this film. It's a special feeling to come to Korea and I'm really happy that I can be with you like this."

Then, director Son, who visited Korea after about 7 years since the movie 'Good Dinosaur' (2016), said that he had visited Gyeongbokgung Palace and Gwanghwamun, and admired, "The people wearing hanbok were so pretty." In addition, he said, "I ate Pyongyang water naengmyeon, and it was really delicious. It's not available in the United States."

'Elemental' tells the story of Amber, who is witty and full of passion like fire, meeting Wade, who is pleasant and emotional, and builds a special friendship in 'Element City', where the four elements of fire, water, air, and earth live. 'Elemental' was selected as the closing film of this year's Cannes Film Festival and decorated the grand finale. It is a Disney-Pixar film invited to Cannes three years after the movie 'Soul'.

'Elemental' is released on June 14th.
