Biography

Dongguk University graduate JUNG Bum-shik, who also received an MA in Film Directing from Chung-ang University, made his debut as a filmmaker in 2007 when he co-directed the horror film Epitaph with JUNG Sik.

He teamed once again with JUNG Sik to pen the script for the high concept noir comedy Miss Conspirator in 2012. JUNG made his debut as a solo director that same year when he directed the first segment of the omnibus Horror Stories. The next year he once again contributed a segment to Horror Stories II.
