Cast edit

Critics praised Jung's short The Killer Behind the Old Man as the strongest and most stylish entry. In it, a son hires an ultra-methodical hitman (played by Andy Choi) to assassinate his own father, but the killer however finds himself transfixed by the man's slow-moving and ordered life, and thus hesitates to carry through with his mission.[4][5] Jung was invited to present The Killer Behind the Old Man at the 9th London Korean Film Festival in November 2014.[6]
