No artist likes to have to modify his work to such an extent ! It must have been so time consuming, technically difficult and certainly heartwrenching at times.
If he hadn't edited his work, the consequences would have been disastrous for him too (and others involved in this project). In this unique and very complex cultural context, I personally think he had no choice but to edit his film -and then publicly/officially say what he said- to appease its Korean audience, to secure his professional livelyhood and maintain his reputation and that of his family probably too.
That CANCEL CULTURE is the real problem here, not the professionals (director, actors, crew...) trying to do their work as best as they can in this frustrating situation.
I don't think the director had much choice at all, unfortunately, IF he still wanted to continue working in the current South Korean Film & Television Industry and getting future financial investors or professional support in his own country.
