“My dream is to become a Korean animation director. How can I make Korean animation more sympathetic to all over the world?” Johnny Express presented an answer about this question. After planning to make five minutes animation, he thought he should make a funny animation in which people all over the world are immersed due to a well knit plot, situation, and characters. For this reason, he got rid of the lines and unnecessary characters. The subject of Johnny Express is about misunderstanding by the absence of communication clearly emerges due to these cinematic devices.”

So Johnny Express came into the world in that manner. To achieve his dream, he is moving toward his goal step by step.
 
“Technical part matters in terms of producing video working,” he said. He advised that to make good storyline, trying making work is the best method. To do that, technical part is necessary. And he advised juniors not to forget original intention and idea which is the most important things. Taking a step forward, now he is dreaming of becoming a Korean animation director.
