His second feature is the thriller Truck (2008) which Kwon claims his intent was to focus on capturing the emotions and actions of a character in an extreme situation.
Having proven his talent in creating sad movies about a child and adult through For Horowitz, Kwon effectively brought out the tears again in Wedding Dress (2010) about a mother who will soon die and her young daughter and starred Kim Hyang-gi and Song Yun-ah.
His second thriller Deep Trap (2015) won Best Film Award in the Orient Express section at the Fantasporto in 2016.
