PARK Kwang-hyun made his debut to much fanfare with <Welcome to Dongmakgol>(2008), which sold 8 million tickets in Korea. Based on a script written by the talented playwright and director [JANG Jin], the movie dealt with the pain of a divided country and peace through a story of some stray soldiers, South Korean, North Korean, and American, who find their way into a mountain village that seemingly is oblivious to a war(the Korean War) being waged in the country. It was thanks to [JANG Jin]’s witty script and PARK Kwang-hyun’s skillful directing that belies his novice status that the movie was made into a highly successful and complete piece of work. Following a few years developing a martial arts sci-fi film that which was expected to shoot in China, PARK eventually moved on to another project, the tech thriller <Fabricated City>, which featured young star SHIM Eun-kyoung.
