His first film "Whispering Corridors"(1998) broke box office records and catapulted Park to star status. His new film "Gangster High" is not a conventional story of teenage youths. Violence is not trivialized in "Gangster High", it is a means to express the story. The depiction of physical conflict is executed in a stylish but realistic way of taking the visual details to a different level. He uses actors that are close in age to the characters they portray thereby creating a realistic setting for the story to unfold. Park declares “'violence' is the new ‘horror’!” and he intends to prove that in this film.
