The director of this film  A BAREFOOT DREAM said, "what I wanted to convey was hope, and to see children nourishing their dreams and trying their best to obtain that dream was important.  Especially for the jaded forty-something, middle aged group – people like me!

– I wanted to give them something hopeful.  My friends around me, my generation, they appear to me to have lost all hope and I made this for them."

唯一的出路，是一步一步慢慢走。心里默默地相信，这一切将会过去，纵然目前看来几乎不太可能。没关系的，至少我努力地活着
Wéiyī de chūlù, shì yībù yībù màn man zǒu. Xīnlǐ mòmò de xiāngxìn, zhè yīqiè jiāng huì guòqù, zòngrán mùqián kàn lái jīhū bù tài kěnéng.Méiguānxì de, zhìshǎo wǒ nǔlì de huózhe.

 The only solution is to take one step at a time, and to faithfully believe that this too will pass, even though it seems impossible at present. It's ok. At least I'm still striving to live.

"We All Lie"

(from "SKY Castle" soundtrack)

We all lie

Tell you the truth

Sometimes we laugh and easily lie

Alright, it's a... it's faker

Shout it out

What you want for the world

Money, honor, beauty

Everything you want

Play with a mask to hide the truth

People cheat each other, right?

Is this really true?

Korean actress Jeon Mi-sun was found dead in a hotel room on 29 June by police officers in a suspected suicide. She was 48 years old.

News outlets reported that police officers found the actress in Jeonju, North Jeolla province, which is 240km south of Seoul. Her body was found after her manager called the police to report that the actress had gone missing.

The North Jeolla fire department apparently found the actress' body in the bathroom of the hotel. No suicide note was found on the premises.

Her agency made the following statement on 29 June:

"Actress Jeon Mi Sun has passed away at the age of 50 (by Korean reckoning). She has been receiving treatment for depression. However, we are here with sad news today. We ask for your condolences, and we ask the media to refrain from reporting on unconfirmed rumours and speculations out of respect for her family, who are in shock and grief-stricken. We will share more information once plans for her funeral parlour are set."

Jeon made her television debut in 1990 and was a beloved figure on many South Korean television shows. Her most recent work includes He Is Psychometric, Love In The Moonlight and The Moon Embracing The Sun.

Her last film The King's Letters will premiere in July.
