Bio
Yu Ha is a well-known poet. Most people recognize him for his masterpiece, "I've Gotta Go to Apkujung on a Windy Day". In 1993, he made his directorial debut with the film of the same name whose scrip was written by himself. His second feature film was Marriage Is a Crazy Thing], a satire on the distorted meaning of marriage in modern times, which gave him wide recognition for his directorial skills. Once Upon a Time in High School is his third film about the tormented youth in the midst of development under a military regime 25 years ago. He says he was first hit with the idea for the film in 1995. He wanted to show students of today how harsh his high school days were and how big a hero Bruce Lee was in the minds of so many hot-blooded male students back then. He adds that he took the ideas for all the characters in the film from his own friends that he went to school with.
