SEOUL – A veteran South Korean actor with 35 years’ experience in films and TV, Choi Min-sik sought to bring to the screen the charisma of Korean practitioners of shamanistic beliefs – such as geomancers – to push people to think about how their perceptions of land impact society in his first occult film.
Choi, 62, decided to do an occult flick because he saw potential in South Korean writer-director Jang to cinematically interpret metaphysical concepts, such as religious beliefs. Choi added he chose to participate in Exhuma due to the familiarity he felt with Korean shamanism and the role that it and other spiritual practices still play in modern society.
To play the role of a seasoned fengshui specialist, Choi tried to mimic the charisma fengshui practitioners and shamans demonstrate when engaged in their work.
