Director: LEE Yong-ju
LEE Yong-ju was born in 1970. After studying architecture at Yonsei University, he worked in the field for ten years before transitioning to filmography. His first exposure to directing was as an assistant to the director BONG Joon-ho on “Memories of Murder” (2003). Six years later, he made his debut as a screenwriter and director with the horror film “Possessed” (2009). Building on this, in 2012, he released the hit film “Architecture 101” (2012) to critical plaudits. Based on a scenario LEE had been nurturing for years, it tells a story of a romance involving characters drawn to their first love. “Seobok” marks LEE’s third project as a director and screenwriter.
