He lives in Yeosuam, Aewol-eup, Jeju City with his son Si-woo, who writes poetry. About 20 years ago, he suddenly left for Russia to study film and majored in cinematography at the Russian State Institute of Cinematography the following year.

Continuously creating films that reflect the artistic sensibility and questioning attitude towards life experienced in Russian culture, he contributed to the diversity of Korean cinema. After his wife passed away, he made a documentary titled "<Promise>, which captures the daily life of him and his son Si-woo in Jeju. Both Si-woo, the poet, and Min Byung-hoon, the filmmaker, plan to continue creating something in Jeju in the future.
