Sidus producer Noh Jong-yoon "Success is the Result of Coexistence".

"Movies are like children to scenario writers. They want it to become a good movie when their writing leaves their hands. No one will leave us with his/her scenario if we're obsessed with money. Will you send your child to a school where tuition is treated solely as a business revenue?"

CEO of a movie production company Sidus, Noh Jong-yun planned the movie productions of Save the Green Planet, and Memories of a Murder. Noh, who leads the company with Cha Seung-jae, directs all the operations in movie production from material study, planning to marketing.

Movies produced or being filmed by Sidus are "The Big Swindle", "Superstar Gamsayong", and "Yeokdosan". Noh who founded Uno Film and Sidus in 1996 and 2000, respectively, is one of the most important persons who started Chungmuro's golden age.

"People are the most important thing in movies. Writers, directors, actors/actresses and staffs are all people. That's why you have to be a part of a group where people trust and depend on one another. If you treat people like your own family, they will become yours. Success is only the result of coexistence".

Noh had worked for Samsung Image Business for seven years in charge of Korea movie investment until the IMP crisis when he left Samsung to start his own business. He invested to the movie "Run with the Money" when he was working for Samsung. Noh studies English at KOFIC affiliated "Movie Academy", and some of his close schoolmates are Kim Yeong-jin film critic and the director of "Family Pride" Jeong Woo-seon.

"Even the Walt Disney began as a small cartoon production company. It is true that the Korean movie industry has been on a smooth growth path, but there still isn't a film company that became a corporation.

Most productions have a short lifespan filled with poverty. I intend for Sidus to become a leading model of the Korean movie industry by focusing on contents. If Sidus pops up in study of the Korean movie industry in fifty years, I'd have nothing else to ask for".
