Oldboy especially left such a big impression on the audience due to the action bits and because we had this rage-filled protagonist. A lot of scary men came up to me and told me that they were fans of my movies. The reason for making my next film, Lady Vengeance, was actually for that exact reason. With my movies after that as well, I had a lot of strong female characters. I think the gender ratio of my fans has evened out now.
