![Interview with Bong Joon-ho (unsure of interviewer, but they're initialized as NL). It reads:
BJH: Yes. [laughs]
NL: What kind of comics did you draw?
BJH: There was a time when I seriously considered becoming a cartoonist. In fact, I drew cartoons all through college. Our university had a newspaper, The Yonsei Chunchu, and I actually got paid to do cartoons for it. As kids we had easy access to Japanese manga, and manga like Doraemon were popular in Korea. I tried to draw pieces that imitated those Japanese comics. When I became a filmmaker, I drew my own storyboards, which reminded me of those days. After all, comics are about arranging shots and how the frames go together. With storyboarding, I feel like I'm fulfilling my childhood dream of being a cartoonist; it's kind of a pleasant delusion.
NL: Watching movies and drawing comics served as training for filmmaking?
BJH: I never intended it that way, but I drew up loving comics. My dad worked in graphic and industrial design, so our house was always full of art books and photo books. He also watched an incredible amount of TV. He was a huge TV drama addict, so the TV was always on, and he never made rules about how much we could watch.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uiy7gsqqwshhoyznorb5pvy/bafkreibtck44r6wkqzbz5hhed3ocqo53yhfnlwxvwwrfaflyrvietodvzy)
