. Zack Sharf praised him as one of 30 cinematographers to watch, praising his "dynamic camerawork". The director he has done the most work with, Bong Joon-ho, stated that any future Korean films he opted to do would use Hong as his cinematographer. Hong employs a Director of Photography (DP) system where the cinematographer has comprehensive control over both filming and lighting. Consequently, initial training prioritizes understanding the collaborative workflow and communication across departments (lighting, grip, etc.) over purely technical skills. Specifically, excluding the B camera unit, Hong Kyung-pyo's team typically comprises: a 4-person shooting team (with roles for exposure/focus, equipment management, film handling, and general assistance), a 5-person lighting team, and a 5-person grip team.
