Born to Kill is directed by JANG Hyunsoo, who pioneered and popularized the Korean Noir genre in the mid-1990s. Young stars JUNG Woosung and SHIM Eunha back then played the roles of a lonely hit man and his beautiful lover. The movie was not as successful as expected, but in every sense, it was a movie equipped with sophisticated attempts of the day. DP JUNG Il-sung filmed it. Director JANG Hyun-soo describes JUNG Il-sung as "a truth seeker wandering around looking for a screen that is satisfactory for himself." In every scene of fierce fighting and extreme emotions of characters, DP JUNG Il-sung is second to no young filmmakers of the time. (JUNG Han-Seok)
