Why do we need to restore bears? There are several ways to restore ecosystems, but why restore bears, which are perceived as fierce wild animals? Director Moon Gwang-seon answered with two points: the historical background of bears disappearing and the ecological effects that would be achieved if restoration took place. "The moment bears disappeared, we lost all information about what role bears played in nature and what benefits they gave us. Because there were no people who experienced bears anymore. They all disappeared between the 1930s-50s. It's because the Japanese colonial period captured them all. Not just bears, but all wild animals like tigers and foxes were killed. Now, among Korean people, almost no one has seen a bear in nature. The only ones left are a few people who hunted them back in the day. Our culture related to our lives also disappeared with them."

He felt sad that there's no generation that experienced meeting bears. He felt sad that our culture was disappearing. So he restored it. Here's an example of that lost culture.

The "Ukeung culture" where people made "ooooh" sounds so animals would avoid them ahead of time. Director Moon emphasized the need for a culture of mutual consideration between animals and humans to enable coexistence. He said, "In areas where animals and humans inevitably overlap, individuals must improve their awareness so they can each maintain their territory." "You've never seen a rabbit when you go to the mountains, right? Never saw a roe deer? Have you been to Jeju Island? Did you see roe deer there? When we think of Jeju, we think of roe deer. Halla roe deer. The problem with our mountains is that you can't see animals when you go there. It's unfortunate." He said, "A truly living nature is when you can see roe deer, Korean musk deer, and wild boars in the mountains." Then he raised his voice: "Our nature right now is just 'reforested,' but we can't call it a healthy ecosystem." He also pointed out changes in people's lifestyle habits. In the past, there was a culture called 'Ukeung culture' where adults climbing mountains would make 'ooooh' sounds or create vibrations with their walking sticks—'bang bang'—to make animals avoid them. But that doesn't happen anymore.

Our Ukeung culture where we desperately shouted and banged the ground with walking sticks out of fear of being attacked while hiking has disappeared, which is sad. And so he says it would be nice if you went into the mountains and saw rabbits, roe deer, wild boars, and even bears—but they're gone, which is unfortunate.

You

Why are you doing this kind of shit?

Why...? Well, because...

It's... fun.

'Cause it's entertaining watching humans get eaten by monsters, that's what I'm saying.

Of course, there are some bastards who wouldn't want to see that kind of thing.

This is fun and great!!!!
