Director Park Chan-wook's "I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK" has drawn much interest from the press at the Berlin International Film Festival, which opened on Feb. 7.

A throng of reporters came to the preview of the film, which was submitted to the festival's competition section, on Feb. 9. Many reporters also attended the press conference held after the preview to cover it.

Reporters showed particular interest in the film's peculiar subject matter, plot and description of violence. They asked Jeong Ji-hoon (singer Rain), who played the lead, how he as a top singer felt about his first appearance in a movie.

The hype for the movie from the press is mostly due to director Park's reputation in the international film world. Film reporters from around the world expressed their high expectations for the Korea director's new work.
