Synopsis


Set during the 1990s Korean IMF economic crisis. Min, a 6-year-old girl who yearns to be loved for her good behavior, obediently listens to her mom, her teachers, and her pastor in her quest to be a good girl. One day, on her way to church, she encounters a stranger who asks for help in finding a restroom.


Director's Statement


Min is an autobiographical story. It is a haunting and important film about the vile people who get away with sexual assault in this world. It is a reminder of womanhood and the trauma that many of us have to carry with us for the rest of our lives. Writing this film was my first step to healing, and with the help I received from many people, I had the opportunity to bring this movie to life, 'heal' myself,

and move on.


During the festival circuit, I realized that people of all genders and backgrounds could connect with Min. After screenings, many people came up to share their thoughts and feelings. That’s when I understood this isn’t just my story—it’s for anyone who has ever questioned what it truly means to be "a good person" or who has been raised to believe they must always be one.


Before making Min, I focused on my own healing. But meeting so many people and hearing their stories has shifted my perspective. I’ve learned that listening to others can be more powerful than sharing my own story. I’ve grown so much from this experience. The love and support I’ve received from people who watched Min mean everything to me. I’ll carry that with me as I begin the next chapter of this journey.
