On why he lived alone at a Buddhist temple on a mountain, he said, "My two sons live separately. If I had a lot of money, my brothers would visit me but they don't because I don't have much money. I live with that feeling. I don't want to show myself like this."

He said he made seven films in 1984 and continued to make movies until 1995, selling his homes in Seoul and Hong Kong to finance his works since he had no income. He ended up losing everything and getting divorced. "When my sons were about 7 and before they entered elementary school, they had nobody to care for them so I moved them to their grandmother's house. (At the time) I couldn't see them often. When I went to the sticks for work, my kids lived without their parents and couldn't speak. It killed me inside."
