Actor Yoo Ah-in’s remarks about female film directors while promoting his new movie "Like for Likes" has grabbed media attention.

During a press briefing Saturday, the top actor said, "I want to work with a female movie director."

"When people talk about female directors, they always put 'female' in front of director,” he added, “even though they don’t put 'male' for male directors."

"This can mean that women are special, but in reality women often lose out in society because of their gender. I want to lend weight to them and I am also curious about working with them," he said.

Asked about the most memorable episode while making the movie, he said, "It was a meeting with my ideal woman (actress) Lee Mi-yeon,” adding, “She is an ideally nice woman. I have liked her since before I was an actor."

Yoo’s new romantic comedy "Like for Likes," costarring Lee Mi-yeon, hit theaters on Feb. 17.
