We didn’t use Korean at home. They said I became completely fluent in English in just six months. After my English became perfect, my mom gave me a Korean book, but I couldn’t read it. My mom said, “This won’t do,” and from that point on, she sat me down and started studying with me. Three to four times a week, for several hours at a time, we absolutely studied Korean. I did dictation and read things over and over. At the time, I really hated it, but now I’m so grateful for it. ㅡStudying itself is not easy for a 5-year-old. Korean study that later became a huge asset Yoo Jae-suk – Even after immigrating to Canada, did you visit Korea often? Maggie Kang – I spent every summer vacation in Korea. My parents always thought we would eventually return to Korea, so I spent a lot of time there. ㅡKorean sensibilities that naturally became ingrained Maggie Kang – I think I watched a lot of TV whenever I came to Korea during vacations, haha. Every summer when I went to Korea, there were hit songs that were popular at the time. I went to karaoke with my cousins and sang popular songs, and those memories are really nice. Jae-jin Jin – Which singers did you like? Maggie Kang – For singers, it was H.O.T.. I was an H.O.T. fan, and also Seo Taiji and Boys. ㅡSeo Taiji and Boys – <As the Night Grows Deeper> (1992)ㅡDeux – <Look Back at Me> (1993) ㅡInfluenced by the singers she liked in childhood, Korean songs were inserted throughout the film Maggie Kang – My mother always said to me, “You are Korean. You must not forget the Korean language.”So I always kept those words in my heart. Even though I now hold a Canadian passport, in my heart I have always felt 100% Korean. Yoo Jae-suk – How did you start animation? Maggie Kang – My dad really loved movies. So from a young age, I was very interested in storytelling. When I wrote stories, I would draw character designs and scenes alongside them, and when my dad saw that, he bought me animation books. From that moment, I thought, “Animation can be a job!” I started learning 2D animation and took a story test at DreamWorks. I passed and joined DreamWorks. Jo Se-ho – Do you remember the animations you liked as a child? Maggie Kang – I liked Dooly, and I also remember <Candy Candy>. I was influenced a lot by Korean cartoons, and also by Western ones. Things like Disney as well. I liked many different things. ㅡA director who loved animation from a young age Yoo Jae-suk – You worked a lot as a storyboard artist at DreamWorks, right?
