Delighted that IDOLS, a K-pop home invasion short film I produced, will have its World Premiere at the 30th Fantasia IFF (@FantasiaFest). Presented by @samansajpn, IDOLS is the brainchild of writer-director Matt Halsall and stars the great Hojo Shin in a dual role.

THE KING’S WARDEN is doing insane numbers. Crossed 10 mil viewers Friday, but at this rate it’ll become the highest grossing domestic film in Korean BO history (record is ₩139.6B, ₩150B seems assured). 50/50 whether it unseats ROARING CURRENTS’ all-time admissions haul (17.6M).

Good news for struggling Korean film industry? Not really. THE KING’S WARDEN accounts for almost 60% of Korean film BO this year (possibly 75% by end of March) and will match a quarter of 2025’s total Korean film revenue. This imbalance makes survival all the more difficult.

Stepping back into the K-Cinema Library column over on @KoreanFilmBiz with a dive into cinematic iconoclast Lee Myung-se's sumptuous reverie FIRST LOVE, a criminally underseen landmark of 90s Korean cinema starring Kim Hye-soo. #첫사랑 koreanfilm.or.kr/eng/news/in…

Yorgos Lanthimos’ BUGONIA, the scintillating adaptation of the Korean cult classic SAVE THE GREEN PLANET, delivers the paranoid goods and then some. screenanarchy.com/2025/09/bu…

These are all bangers. Now now, get your head out of the gutter, I'm being serious. This is a fascinating subgenre filled with genuinely great films, and, lucky for you, many are free to watch on the Korean Film Archive's YouTube channel, the gift that keeps on giving.

“If you should ever leave me Well life would still go on believe me” There are times when Brian Wilson’s music was the only thing that got me through the day. Today, as we say goodbye to my favourite 20th century composer, looks to be another one of those days.

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES explores Koreanness in a way that is rich, raw and profoundly moving. The series sets a lofty benchmark for homegrown K-drama that could guide the industry for years to come. #폭싹속았수다 scmp.com/lifestyle/k-drama/k…

"Love it or hate it, there's no denying that this future camp cult classic is the 'real' deal." Well, it finally happened, but not at all how I expected it would. modernkoreancinema.com/2017/…
