Movie poster designer Park Si-young has revealed the truth behind her recent activities.

On the 1st, Park Si-young posted on her personal account: "I went down to Gokheung and intended to stop doing design work. I had grown tired of design itself. I was tired of being called 'teacher' when receiving commissions but treated like a nobody during settlement. I was also fed up with the outrageous behavior of those who blindly rushed to make just one movie."

Park Si-young stated, "I am someone who runs on pride. I fundamentally changed Korean movie posters. I take pride in shifting the weight of responsibility from marketers and directors' instructions to the designer's interpretation. Having accomplished so much at this level, I decided to quit design without hesitation."

Yet, he began writing again. Regarding this turn of events, Park Si-young wrote: "I focused on farming and boat work for about one or two years and stopped taking on design projects. While I left design behind, I couldn't leave behind the countless things I wanted to say inside me. To learn writing before getting older, I started studying and treated it as practice in writing, expressing my thoughts from my mind without filters. That is 'Sudana'." He added, "Thanks to the articles I've written, I've been frequently invited on YouTube recently, enjoying myself and meeting many good people."

He also shared the reasons and emotional shifts behind resuming design work. Park Si-young explained, "I took out a loan while building my house. To repay it, I restarted design work about a year ago, and I paid off all loans by early this year." He continued, "This writing I started doing daily greatly helped me with the design work that had become unbearable and something I couldn't even bear to see. I thought design was my only means, but now that I have another option—writing—I no longer hang on it like a lifeline. It used to be an intense unrequited love, but now it feels like a tool I use. Finally, I feel like I've woken up from the gaslighting of 'the dream I desperately wanted.' I feel light and free."

Furthermore, Park Si-young said, "Recently, people have been worried that I'm neglecting my main job because I'm playing around as a celebrity. But in just the first half of this year alone, I released consecutive hits: 'The King's Man,' 'COLONY,' and 'Hoop.' The word 'neglect' is not even applicable."

Meanwhile, Park Si-young is one of Korea's leading movie poster designers, having worked on posters for numerous works including his films "The King's Man," "COLONY," and "Hoop," as well as "Masquerade," "The Wailing," "Mother," "Rough Cut," and the drama "Beautiful World."
