Anybody who speaks Korean on this board? (SPOILERS)


I have a huge favor to ask... Could you possibly search Korean websites to find out how the director of this movie interpreted the ending? Why did his chingoo took the blame for ordering to kill the guy? Since this is his autobiography, he probably clarified the answers for Korean reporters... It is not clear to me what the main character meant when he said "humiliation". I believe he referred to the guy who was killed - he did not want him to be humiliated, but I could be wrong. Thanks in advance.

Jun Suk DID order Dong Su to be killed. He did not admit to something he did not do. What he meant was that he felt humiliated to have to lie that he didn't do it, so he just told the truth.

Thank you very much and thus another question:

Why did he order his best friend to be killed?

Thanks in advance.

I was confused about this too. The wikipedia page says that he didn't order the killing and Sang-taek is asking him why he pleaded guilty to something he didn't do. Not sure what to believe.

reply

the humiliation is that a gang boss should not be killed b a couple of random thugs on the street.

Admitting to ordering the hit makes the death mean something and so raises his standing among gangsters.

reply

Because they were in a gang war.

No. Just no.
