Review of Korean Films Analysis of Korean Film Industry
Review of Korean Films
Before getting into discussing the trends and achievements of Korean cinema in 2009, it would be best to rst mention the two movies that were much talked about at the start of the year. One is <A Frozen Flower>, a historical piece by director YOO Ha, a story set at the end of Koreas Goryeo era under the rule of Yuan China in the late-Medieval period. The other is <Old Partner>, LEE Chung-ryouls documentary on the friendship and farewell of an old farmer and the old cow that has accompanied him for many years. <A Frozen Flower> was a big budget commercial film costing 8 billion KRW(US$7 million) while <Old Partner> was an independent lm made for a mere 100 million KRW(US$0.09 million), each succeeding in attracting more than 3 million admissions. In this case, the word extraordinary seems to go better with <Old Partner>, but in the sense that they had suggested beforehand a certain wind of change that began to blow among Korean lms, the two lms are both signicant. The hint of such change was sensed not just from the creative side, but also among audience trends or at the consumer level, at the same time suggesting an important keyword penetrating through Korean Cinema of year 2009. Firstly, <Frozen Flower> proved to be the first Korean popular film that managed to succeed even with upfront homosexual subject matter, although it is difcult to deny that the names of two attractive actors played a big
12
13
part in the success. In a society where things remain relatively conservative when it comes to sex, presenting scenes outside the purview of normal heterosexual love, especially showing homosexual scenes in a rather direct and blunt manner, in a way means taking a big risk. However, despite the already expected imprudent yet reserved rejection expressed by some, <Frozen Flower> bears an important meaning as it has provided an opportunity for Korean cinema to innovatively expand its realm of expression one step further. Premiering in the following April, PARK Chan-wooks <Thirst> too was very controversial, boldly revealing the genitals of main actor SONG Kang-ho for the rst time in Korean popular lm history. These two consecutive adventures had tried to embrace the consciousness of a creator within the limits of commercial film, and as an inevitable phenomenon occurring within the tradition of Korean popular films that had continued from the 1990s, it wont be too much to say they were part of a symbolic event suggesting a certain change of discourse, towards a more liberal expansion of expression. For Korean cinema, the mid 90s to 2000 was a period that saw the release of once forbidden political and social issues like the North Korea problem or class conicts. Then, with the screen market growing unprecedentedly in the rst half of the rst decade of the 21st century, the seeds of desire scattered by film artists wishing to break away from another suppression mechanism called popularity may well be interpreted as a result stemming from the level of sexual expression, a relatively sensitive area. Next in line is the so called <Old Partner> effect. The reason why word effect is attached after the lm title is because putting aside the lms signicance,
<Thirst>
a major success had happened, one that had hitherto been unimaginable for a simple low budget independent documentary such as this one. From the very beginning of the year, <Old Partner> had given rise to a phenomenon, drawing elderly audiences in massive numbers. Even after putting into consideration the fact that 2009 was the year of oxen and that for Korean audiences over 40 cows are a major symbolic motive that makes them nostalgic about the rural life, considering former treatment towards indie movies, nobody had dared to predict this film will gather more than 3 million admissions and make a profit as high as 200 times the original
<Scandal Makers>
investment. Anyhow, the surprise of <Old Partner> had
surely delivered considerable shock to the conventional moves of popular films that had elaborately set up their target audiences and made their approach with delicate marketing strategies and massive material attacks. It will be too much to expect that the exceptional success of <Old Partner> will change the major trend but at least it was a chance to enlighten us on the fact that certainly there are gaps in the market that are yet to be discovered. Furthermore, it was the willfulness of audiences that was discovered in that gap, refusing to give in to the conventionality of the entertainment market. Such willfulness had presented an exceptional event, putting <Old Partner> at number one at the box office after just six weeks when the same film had opened at number 15 in the rst weekend of its release. In the recorded history of the Korean box ofce there has never been such an occurrence. The success of <Old Partner> following the mega hit human comedy <Scandal Makers> at the end of 2008, led lm planners in Chungmuro to adopt the motto cheap and interesting once again. The strong impression was that low budget commercial lms could be a powerful breakthrough that would overcome the investment limitations Korean lms had suffered from for some years now. Of course such a situation had left room for controversy. Criticisms were made asserting that low-budget films cannot be an unconditional alternative. However, at least the exceptional success of <Scandal Makers> and <Old Partner> have made a profound impact in that they have provided opportunity for Korean cinema to create a new market free from the compulsion of size. In reality too during the whole year of 2009 low-budget
<Old Partner>
commercial lms were actively made in large numbers.

The <A Frozen Flower> and <Old Partner> phenomena making the headlines of early 2009 can be summed up with the word expansion. While the former had made an expansion in expression, <Old Partner> had expanded the market, to be more specic, expanded lm consuming patterns. Furthermore, it wont be strange to select expansion as the key word summarizing the 2009 Korean cinema map a variety of lms have made attempts from all sides using diverse subjects to develop points of communication with the audience. While the borderline between indie and commercial lms is becoming fainter, it became quite common to see the two genres penetrate into each other, and commercial lms continued their experiment of mixing a foreign subject into the genre formula. From now on, lets see whether such an expansion has produced concrete results. The <Old Partner> effect that inuenced not only the box ofce but also the major news media early in the year has continued the success of indie lms. Perhaps it may be too hasty to conclude it was an immediate effect of <Old Partner>, but indie dramas like <Daytime Drinking> and <Breathless>, which were released in the theaters shortly after had performed quite well, playing a major role in vitalizing diversity in the lm market. Even without mentioning the commercial success of each film, the fact that indie films came in a wide spectrum that approached audiences with unprecedented energy will remain the most visible outcome of Korean cinema in 2009. More than anything, it is notable that efforts were continuously made to employ genre devices in indie lms. <One Step More to the Sea>, a family drama on the evolvement between mother and daughter, <How to Live on Earth> a love affair in the framework of an animated Sci-Fi genre, and <The Pot> expressing the dark side of religion and faith using occult horror, are good examples. Another phenomenon prominent among 2009 independent films was that continuous efforts were made to embrace the others of Korean society. While lms like <Where Is Ronny?>, <Bandhobi>, <Hello, Stranger> and <Let the Blue River Run> reminded us of the human rights of foreign migrant workers or North Korean defectors, <A Brand New Life> and <A Blind River> had revealed the feeling of loss and identity crisis suffered by overseas adoptees, with elegant and detailed direction. To apply the previously mentioned keyword expansion to the commercial lm
<Breathless> <The Pot> <The Scam>
scene of 2009, the most evident sign of change was witnessed among genre lms that were in the theaters in March and April. The consecutive success of <7 Days> in 2007 and <The Chaser> in 2008 had stimulated a desire for making thrillers, once thought one of the weakest genres in Korean films. As a result, various stories that go beyond serial
<Private Eye>
killer type thrillers were developed. The rst half of 2009 was a chance
to conrm the rst few outcomes of the thriller boom. First, it was the diversity of subjects that caught the eye. <The Scam>, a production led by KIM Su-jin, producer of <The Chaser>, is a lively drama about cheating and manipulation on the stock exchange as crooked traders aim to make it big, and <Handphone> unravels the modern obsession with cell phones through an extreme confrontation between two men. <Marine Boy> took the conspiracies and battles involved in sea route drug smuggling and turned it into a lm noir. <Private Eye>, which ranked number one for two weeks in a row at the box ofce again used the historical genre and refreshingly challenged the detective mystery genre which had been uncommon among Korean films. <Insadong Scandal> took on the interesting subject of cultural asset restoration and illegal trading of artifacts, seeking delights unique to heist movies. These thriller lms concentrated in the low season for theaters failed to gain nancial revenues save <Private Eye> that managed to draw 1.8 million admissions, but at the very least they will be assessed as ambitious attempts made along several paths with various subjects heading towards an evolution in Korean thrillers. The passion of Korean films for the so called well-made thriller films continued throughout the summer season into the latter half of the year. The fact that <The Chaser> and BONG Joon-hos monumental thriller <Memories of Murder> released in 2003, both got their inspiration from an actual event, has also been a stimulant for talented directors, reminding them of the link between genre and reality. Under such conditions, <A Million> released during the summer is a story of a TV reality show with a massive amount of prize money turning into a scene from hell, infusing cynical satire on materialistic desires, individualism, and the selshness of young people. <Where the Truth Lies>, which opened in the fall, reenacted an actual homicide that is still remains a mystery, and was praised as a thriller that focused on social issues
16
17
around laws that fail to protect justice and the lethargy of the system. While these two movies didnt bother to hide the desire to expose the irrationality of Korean society within the frame of genre, <White Night>, a remake of Japanese mystery novelist HIGASHINO Keigo, and <Secret>, a story of a detective who tries to protect his wife whos on the suspect list of a murder case, in theaters this December, the passion for the pleasures unique to thrillers is continuing. On the other hand, in the field of horror that was the cream of the summer market for the last few years, with the exception of <Possessed> that looked into the dark side of blind faith, putting the shamanic faith of Korea side by side Christianity, horror films have mostly failed with both audiences and the critics. On the commercial side, the second piece of good news in 2009 since <Old Partner> came with the comedy lm <My Girlfriend Is an Agent>. Debuting at number one in its opening weekend, it regained the top place once again in week three, drawing 4 million ticket sales, the highest number among Korean lms in the rst half of the year. The success of <My Girlfriend Is an Agent> is signicant in a sense that it has once again conrmed the unchanged support of audiences for a well-made comedy as proven by <Scandal Makers>. Its not too much to say that <My Girlfriend Is an Agent> was able to achieve its success thanks to an elaborate script inserting laughing points every 1~2 minutes, intending to fully satisfy the desires of audiences wishing to laugh. With the story of intelligence agencies at its center reminding us of <Mr. & Mrs. Smith>, and spiced with witty humor here and there, <My Girlfriend Is an Agent> has once again proven that a comedy that really makes people laugh will succeed every time. All the while, there developed the multi-genre phenomena of mixing or making variations of comedy the genre traditionally favored by Korean audiences with factors from other genres. <On the Way Home> depicted a strange cohabitation of a homeless woman and a man who tries to kill himself, and <Castaway on the Moon> set on a desert island in the middle of a city both satirically tell stories of modern peoples loneliness. Then there was <Running Turtle> a chase between a slow detective and swift fugitive, all targeting the audience within the framework of a human drama
<Mother> <Insadong Scandal> <Possessed>
sprinkled with appropriate humorous touches. <Chaw> and its carnivorous wild boar was another special trial of mixing together the adventurous traits of a monster thriller with comedy. Designated as the opener of the Pusan International Film Festival, <Good Morning President> was in the center of attention, based on the humorous dialog that is the trademark of director JANG Jin, a filmmaker who has proven himself with <Someone Special> and <Murder, Take One>, expanding the solemn world of politics into the framework of dramatic comedy. All the while, star directors who have their own brand power in and out of the country have also seized attention, each disclosing their latest work. In particular, premiering around Cannes, PARK Chan-wooks <Thirst>and BONG Joon-hos <Mother> practically swept all the media spotlights. PARK Chanwook transformed mile Zolas naturalist novel Therese Raquin in his own way and, as expected, displayed his own cinematic world, interesting and unique. As mentioned previously, the genital exposure of SONG Kang-ho heated up the media, making it a hot issue even before the lm was released. Director BONG Joon-ho took the insanity of motherhood to a Hitchcocklike pitch and in line with <Memories of Murder>and <The Host> offered his deep insights into Korean society. A series of controversies that arose not just among the media but also with audiences shortly before <Thirst> and <Mother> were released, proved PARK Chan-wook and BONG Joon-ho are still the most inuential agenda setters leading the aesthetic discourse about Korean lms, beyond mere box ofce scores. Besides, director E. J-yong of <Untold Scandal> cast six major actresses in the Korean film industry, having them appear as themselves in his newest
18
19
lm <The Actresses> released in December. The lm is a refreshing attempt to touch upon various issues from the backstage side of show business and celebrity life. Success maker CHOI Dong-hoon of <The Big Swindle> and <Tazza: The High Rollers>, has revealed his ambition to pioneer a Korean style superhero movie with <WOOCHI>, the story of a Taoist wizard from 500 years ago reappearing in the modern day world. Just when it was confirmed in the first quarter of the year that Korean film is reviving the energy of its heydays, two films that should be noted as both symbolically and statistically signicant events have heated up the summer screens one after another. JK. YOUNs <Haeundae> claiming to the first disaster film in Korean history swept over the summer market like a tsunami. Ultimately it was listed as the fth Korean lm to achieve 10 million audiences, 3 years after <The Host>. The lm adopted the visual know-how of Hollywood disaster movies yet it revealed the local colors of Haeundae in full splendor, making it another success model for a Korean style commercial lm. In Korea, those films with more than 10 million audiences are interpreted as a certain social phenomena. The four previous members of the 10 million club are <Tae-guk-gi>, <Silmido>, <King and the Clown>, and <The Host>, and considering that they were all somewhat focused on historical tragedies unique to the Korean Peninsula and still valid social issues, the case of <Haeundae> is surely an exception. Of course as predicted with SHIM Hyung-raes <D-War> that put on monster spectacles, and KIM Jee-woons variation on the spaghetti western <The Good, The Bad, The Weird> set in Manchuria under Japanese occupation, gathering more than 8 million and 6 million admissions respectively in the summer of 2007 and 2008, the center of weight for commercial success drawing in massive audiences is probably
<The Actresses>
shifting from historicity or sociality towards the scaled up presentation of visual spectacle that is true to the tradition of genre. <Take Off>, released in the theaters just a week after <Haeundae>, also scored a big success, gathering audiences of over 8 million. This sports redemption drama based on the true story of a national team competing in ski jump, an unpopular event in Korea, presented lively ski jump scenes to the audience thanks to improved visual effects and shooting techniques. The audiences gladly gave their support for this new visual sensation that made up for the somewhat old-fashioned drama. The two top successes of <Haeundae> and <Take Off>, respectively ranking number one and two in 2009 box ofce numbers, were more than enough to prove that Korean cinema, which had been on the downside due to declining earning rates since 2006, as a matter of fact has fully recovered its condence in the market. The success was also analyzed as evidence that Korean cinema had secured the brand power that is not easily shaken, at least not in the domestic market. Commercial and independent lms put together, Korean cinema of 2009 has shown an expansive spectrum of rumble and tumble. Ironically it was a scene regenerated by the struggles of market players, and especially of creative lmmakers trying to escape from the years of recession. While compromising with tradition, attempts exploring new visuals and ambitious experiments dreaming of aesthetic evolution took place simultaneously, and each venture discovered or reconrmed its own market. Whats important is that although the market remains in a deadlock situation, the magma of creativity boiling beneath the surface of Korean cinema will endlessly nd other escape routes to break through. This fact Korean cinema has conrmed on its own, proving it has grown up enough to equip itself with such a resource-rich range of power that it can deal with the obstacles and uncertainties of market and economy. This will remain the biggest achievement of 2009.

Analysis of Korean Film Industry

1. 2009 Review: Recuperation in market by return of audience
Korean lm industry seems to be nally escaping from its long recession, which can be indicated from earning rates for the past three years since 2006: -24.5% in 2006, -40.5% in 2007 and -28.4% in 2008. Investors started leaving the industry, and so did audience. In 2009, however, Korean lms saw both returning to familiar grounds. For the past 10 months since the beginning of the year, the total admissions went up to 66.3 million and the total sales of Korean films are 458.5 billion KRW(approximately US$394 million). Both numbers are higher compared to the entire year of 2008, which are 63.5 million and 412.6 billion KRW(US$356.5 million) respectively. Revenue share for the same period has also increased to 52%: for three months from August to October, it stayed even over 60%. Overall revenue share of 51.2% up to November, although it decreased to 40.6% for the month of November, clearly tells that Korean lm industry has now regained its power. Increase in ticket price in July helped the industry bounce back. For many years, there have been concerns over the price hike, worrying that audience might turn its back, but the result indicates the opposite. Increase of 1,000 KRW(US$0.86) was still affordable and it quickly made an effect on market share by admissions. The statistics of Korean films for this year are not just numbers: these are the indication of hope, recuperation and takeoff in industry, while those words were buried by recession, depression and crisis a year ago. It is 2006 when Korean lms industry reached its peak, led by <The Host>, which still holds the record of the most admissions with 13 million. The industry saw the biggest numbers in all senses: the total admissions reached 97.9 million, the total sales went up to 591.6 billion KRW(US$511 million) and market shares of Korean lms reached 63.8% for the year. In short, it was the time when the industry was full of energy, and the lms dominated the domestic market. Number of per-year-productions saw
Korean Films
a drastic increase from around 80 to more than a hundred. However, no one expected it would usher the recession. Just like a big house built on sand, Korean lm industry is ever becoming bigger entailed risks. Earning rates saw a sharp drop in 2007: export amount of the year went down to US$24 million, which is about one-third of US$75 million from previous year. Due to widespread illegal download, home video market also collapsed. In result, market share for box ofce receipts counted for over 70% of the industrys entire revenue, which was not a good sign for the industry at all. While the entire cost of P&A for theatrical release made the highest record, average ticket price decreased to 6,034 KRW(US$5.21) from 6,172 KRW(US$5.33) of the previous year. Those were the signs telling nothing but bubble for the industry. Fortunately, Korean lms found a way out of the slump in 2009 by proving capacity not only in industrial sense but also in cultural topology. Home video market is still in trouble as the illegal downloads and bootleg DVDs sold on the street make huge damages to the industry and export of Korean lms havent reached the status of its former self. But there are signs of revival. Above all, the fact that Korean lms regained the power over foreign lms in domestic market this year, hopefully, will

make positive effects next year, especially to production and investment sides. According to Table 1, numbers of total admissions, total admissions of Korean lms and total average attendance per capita and rate of market share of Korean lms reached peak in 2007 and started decreasing from 2008. However, those numbers and rates are increasing again in 2009. Although changes are not dramatic, it indicates the industrys revival from recession of previous years. Based on statistic by November, market share of Korean lms will most likely stay slightly above 50% for 2009, which is more than 5% higher than 2008. There is also considerable increase in total admissions of Korean lms and total sales. For the past 10 months since the beginning of the year, the total admissions went up to 66.3 million and the total sales of Korean lms are 458.5 billion KRW(US$394 million). Both numbers are higher than those from the entire year of 2008, which are 63.5 million for the total admissions and 412.6 billion KRW(US$356.5 million) for the total sales. By November, the total admission is just above 70 million and total sales are 489.9 billion KRW(US$423.2 million). It looks like the industry will wrap up this year in much better shape, only if Korean lms can ght off big Hollywood juggernauts such as <Avatar> in December. Growth of Korean films in box office also helped increase the total box office revenue. By November, total admissions are 138 million and total sales are 951.8 billion KRW(US$822.4 million). It seems that box ofce statistics of this year will show bigger numbers. It is also noteworthy that total box ofce revenue will go up over one trillion KRW(US$864 million) for the rst time in history. According to table 2, it was 2006 when the total number of lms released went over the 300-mark and over 100 Korean lms were released. There is a small dip in both numbers for 2009 due to excess supply and increase of P&A costs for the past couple
of years. Compared to Korean lms released, imported lms released were decreased. Total number of lms released seems to stay near 350 for this year. In the beginning of this year, there was huge concern over the possible decrease in number of Korean lms produced. After the bubble in the production side has burst, the number kept dropping since 2007. While lesser mainstream lms were produced, it is noticeable that more independent, low-budget lms were produced this year. Productions which cost around 1 billion KRW(US$864,042) is expected to grow more pronounced. Industry problems are not far from solved, its getting more difcult to get investment, talents are leaking out of the industry, home video market is still insignificant and online market has not performed up to its expectations. While keeping its structure rather stable both in quality and quantity, Korean lm industry seems to prove that it can overcome recession that gloomed the industry for the past two years.
2. Figures on Admissions and Their Market Share

The index most frequently mentioned together with talks on Korean lm industry crisis of 2008 was the decline of Korean lms market share. On the national level, Korean lm market share that used to be higher than foreign lms for the 5 years since 2003 had slid down to 42.1% in 2008. In Seoul, Korean film market share failed to crack 40% at 39.6%. However, Korean films have done quite well in 2009 as far as market share is concerned. In the first half of the year the number had rose 7.5%, from 37.2% of same time last year to 44.7%. Although foreign film market share kept its predominant position during this period, but things were beginning to look better. In June Korean lm market share nally succeeded in turnover at 51.1%. It was the highest gure in 10 months since September 2008 when the numbers hit 53.4% with Chuseok(Thanksgiving) holiday. The new record provided necessary momentum

In August Korean films reached 67% with <Haeundae> and <Take Off> fiercely leading the front, and in September adding <Goodbye Mom> to the lineup, the numbers hit 67.5%. In October <Close to Heaven>, <Sword with No Name>, and <Good Morning President> dominated the theaters, share rate steadied at 62.6%. Yet the Hollywood lms made a comeback and kept its force since November with the success of <2012>. At the same time on the domestic lm side, <Fortune Salon> had done not too bad and <White Night> was a signicant help but with <2012> as a strong opponent, the market shared dipped below 50% at 40.6% in the end. From January to November of 2009, accumulated market share of Korean lms was 51.2% and after going through adjustments in early December the market share is expected to put up a close ght at around 50% after mid-December when <Avatar> meets <WOOCHI>.

3. Monthly Box Ofce Market Share

During the first half of 2009, the highest number of admissions was scored in January as it is the winter vacation season as well as the New Years Holidays. Although official holidays was scarce, Labor Day through Childrens Day(May 5) played as an actual consecutive holidays in May, and audiences went to the theaters just as many as January. On the other hand, in June when any other year would have seen the theaters bustle up with starting of a hot and sticky season, admissions decreased 13.9% compared to the same period a year prior, and 20.6% compared to the previous month of May. Thus the rst half closed in a decline. However, when the monthly admissions exceeded 16 million in July, the theater started to heat up. Then came the big bang in August, when the number of admissions hit a record of 21.4 million. This was the rst time since August of 2007 that monthly admissions surpassed 20 million. At the same time the sales also reached an all-time high at 153.9 billion KRW(US$132.3 million). A monthly admissions of 20 million suggests the following. According to National Statistics Portal, registered national of South Korea is 49.5 million. Arithmetically, 21.4 million that accounts for 43.2% of the entire population had visited the theaters in August, paying to see a movie. In the past there were two corresponding moments, in January 2006(20.4 million) when films like <My Boss, My Teacher>
<Goodbye Mom>
<White Night>
<WOOCHI>
popular and in August of 2007(21.6 million) when <May 18> and <D-War> were

27
the two top Box Ofce smashers. As for admissions numbers, August 2009 came to be listed as number two only next to August 2007. However with the sales gures, 153.9 billion KRW(US$132.3 million) was earned in August 2009, which is 17.2 billion KRW(US$14.8 million) higher than August 2007, renewing the record. Theaters at this time popped the corks but in September the number stopped at mere 8 million, less than half of the previous month. Ratio of the fall compared to the month before was astonishing 61.3%. October too finished at 9 million, just slipping past admissions count of September and failing to bounce back. On top of it the cinema was faced with the worst possible Chuseok holiday time table with short season, management of 8~9 million monthly admissions was a ne score considering there were no particular big hits or other favorable conditions. More than anything, after the long term success of <Haeundae> and <Take Off>, which scored 11 million and 8 million admissions respectively, the cinema was fatigued from long-runs. Then in the second week of September a refreshing success of <Goodbye Mom> came along, which was consequently the best choice for seasonal change in genre, subject, casting, size, in every other way. On the last week

of September, targeting the Chuseok season, <Close to Heaven> and <Sword with No Name> were released, and the theaters once again gained energy with Korean lms leading the way, making it notable that it was the Korean lms that led the

market throughout the summer and fall seasons. In the monthly market share rate of 2009 Box Office, it was encouraging to see Korean lms maintaining the market from near 40% to near 70%. In the rst half of 2009, market share of Korean lms soared up to 69.1% in February but then fell again to 7.7% in May, showing extreme shifts, which contributed to the instability of the market. It was a time of extreme unrest where those involved failed to steady the market by producing consistent new lineups and betting the entire Korean Box Ofce on one or two lms. Whereas 2009 was a crucial period that conrmed dominance and market leadership of Korean lms, in other words audience preference of Korean lms that is not just limited to one or two Korean lms has somewhat recovered from the uneasiness of previous year.

4. Box Ofce Market Share by Country

Up until November 2009, the country with highest market share by admissions was Korea, which has 51.2% of market share, rising 9.1% from 42.1% of last year. USA placed second with 40.9%. American lms ranked number one in market share by country last year, but with overall stagnation of Hollywood lms this year they gave way to Korean lms and market share too is expected to close at around 40%, a 5% drop. Hollywood direct distributions in particular showed an increase in number of releases but still could not bear any meaningful fruits and remained at low 20%. Among other foreign imports, Chinese lms didnt do as well as they did the year before, while Indian lms and other co-production lms involving India such as <Slumdog Millionaire> and <Black> were presented in the theaters, receiving unexpectedly positive results.
5. Box Ofce Market Share by Distributors

The honor of number one distributor of 2009 was given to CJ Entertainment(hereafter CJ), on national level including both Korean and foreign lms. CJ without exception made number one again this year, distributing Korean lms like <Mother>, <Thirst>, <Good Morning President>, along with <Haeundae>, which is the biggest hit of the year. It was also the exclusive distributor of Paramount Pictures, handling <Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen>, another megahit foreign lm of the year, and <G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra>. CJ distributed a total of 44 films on the national level(including those brought forward), and had 41.48 million admissions in total. Although CJs December heavy weight contender <WOOCHI> will have some effect on the nal tally, total number of admission drawn is expected to be similar to or slightly higher than last year. Market share too is expected to be at around 30%, similar to last year when market share by admissions and share by sales marked 30.1%. Number two distributor is same as last year, Showbox/Mediaplex Inc.(hereafter

Showbox). In previous year the market share was mere 10.1%, a threefold difference with CJ. Yet this year, the same company accounted for 16.7%, closing down the gap into half. The top grossing films of Showbox in 2009 includes the national film <Take Off>, <Running Turtle> and <A Frozen Flower>, which was brought forward from previous year. Looking into Table 7, admissions share of CJ is 36.5%, sales share reaching up to 36.8%. It should be noted that CJs market dominance is stronger in the Korean lm market share by distributors rather than on the whole film market. Number two position is Showbox, and in comparison to all lms market share by distributors, the gap is mere 9% in Korean lms. Next in third is Lotte Entertainment(hereafter Lotte) at 15.7%. Lotte began dashing at full speed when <Scandal Makers> became an expected blockbuster last December. In 2009 the company celebrated its success once again with <My Girlfriend Is an Agent>. Until May, 2009, just a month prior to the closing of rst half of the year Lotte was in high spirits in the distribution with CJ at number one with 21.6% and Lotte next at 21.1%. Still, after distributing Hollywood blockbuster <Terminator Salvation>, it had not presented any big hits

More than anything, the most notable event of 2009 is emergence of N.E.W., which distributed <Lifting King Kong>, <Black>, and <Fortune Salon> as well as Cinergy distributing <Transporter 3> and <Goodbye Mom>, and as an unusual event these two middle sized new distributors outranked Hollywood direct distributor UPI Korea in ranking by distributors positioning themselves above average.

Another Korean movie <Take Off>, released only a week after <Haeundae>, was also embraced warmly by local audiences and scored 8.37

million admissions. Despite competing against another blockbuster in the same period, these two Korean lms led the Box Ofce and dominated the foreign and domestic competitors. The success of these two lms proved again that there still exists a certain formula in the mega success of Korean films; they come in pairs, like <Silmido>(released December 24, 2003) and <Tae-guk-gi>(released February 5, 2004), both of which accomplished 10 million admissions consecutively, just as <May 18>(released July 26, 2007) and <D-War>(released August 1, 2007) stormed the Box Ofce together a week apart. In fact, there is another hidden factor in the success of <Haeundae> and <Take Off>. Facing and expecting some resistance from audiences due to increase of ticket price in the summer of 2009, and hype over Hollywood blockbuster <Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen>, both of which ended up helping the Korean pair because they were released after robot season. As a result, <Haeundae> topped <Take Off> for the rst 2 weeks of August but the two lms switched pole position during the third, fourth and fth weeks of August. Furthermore, <Take Off> introduced a special extended version to continue the fever of the original lm, known as the long tail business strategy, and stayed on top for 5 consecutive weeks, chased closely by another Korean lm <Goodbye Mom>.

In 2009, 7 Korean lms are on the top 10 grosser list, which is 3 lms more than 2008. Above all, the total sum of Box Office scores also has increased slightly compared with that of last year. When Sonys <2012> is taken out of the picture, CJ, Showbox and Lotte each contributed 3 lms to the top 10 list. In other words, Hollywood direct distribution companies didnt produce any mega hits so far this year, save for aforementioned <2012>. The bar for entering the top 10 Korean lms this year has been raised. In 2008, a lm with 1.7 million admissions nationwide was able to be listed, but it was raised to 2.21 million admissions this year. This number is higher than that of 2006 when Korean lm industry hit the peak in terms of quantity, so it proves that Korean lms have benetted from the increase of ticket price in the summer season. As of end of June 2009, most multiplex cinemas increased ticket price and raised the average ticket price. Since July 2009, the standard ticket price has been 8,000 KRW(US$6.91), but the actual price in the marketplace has been continuously increased from 7,007 KRW(US$6.05) in July, 7,191 KRW(US$6.21) in August and 7,365 KRW(US$6.36) in September. Consequently, the increasing ticket price is expected to improve the current earning structure in the Korean lm industry because Korean movies have been dominant and drew more audiences over other Hollywood movies during this golden opportunity.

The biggest foreign lm in 2009 is <Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen> and 1,000+ screen real estate ignited the matter of screen monopoly once again. However, this summer blockbuster played a crucial role during the uctuation of ticket price and faced resistance from audiences. Another blockbuster <2012> released in October, which is off-season for the film industry, achieved impressive success, and is expected to rise above <Terminator Salvation>. To enter top 10 foreign Box Ofce, the bottom line dropped down to around 1.7 million admissions compared to 2.25 million last year. In contrast, UPI Korea, which had 3 of its Films (<Mamma Mia!>, <The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor> and <Wanted>) on the top 10 list last year, failed to enter this years list. Among non-Hollywood Films, John Woos epic historical Chinese lm <Red Cliff 2> ranked fth with 2.67 million admissions. Although not listed in top 10 foreign lms list, the unexpected success of unique titles such as <Black> and <District 9> should be mentioned. The final top 10 list of 2009 is expected to change with upcoming release of <Avatar> from 20th Century Fox Korea in mid-December. By Lisa HAN

Love, that most commonplace of the human desires and emotions, has each time been turned into a unique yet universal story with a poignancy that long lingers by the master of the genre, HUR Jin-ho. <A Good Rain Knows> is his fth such story. This time, however, he plays a lighter, more optimistic key, with the suggestion that even unfullled love, if it waits for the right time, may get a second chance and be fullled and that one must thus never close the door on life. HUR was born in 1963. He is a graduate of Yonsei University with a degree in philosophy and has also studied filmmaking at the Korean Academy of Film Arts. He has specialized in directing romance lms, with all four of his feature lms.

Classmates reunite at the funeral of their history teacher, Sang-tae, and talk about his bizarre life. Their recollections produce another story, and the cycle of the stories reorganizes the relationship, and lead to the labyrinth of the narration. The director SOHN Young-sung, shakes the boundary between the stories, and between life and death, as it is known that he is interested in Jorge Luis Borges. The new approach to the narration is the major topic among young lmmakers in Korea. From the perspective of Korean lm history, the disappearance of narration rst suggested by HONG Sangsoo has been studied more deeply since. In this lm <The Pit and the Pendulum>, SOHNs unique sense of humor and wittiness is presented without any constraints of time or place through his clever words. The existence of a ghost at the funeral is also one of the charms of this lm. (LEE Sang-yong)

It wasnt something he volunteered for rather, it was natural to join such a club at that time. Like a rite of passage, he becomes a man through the process. Actor Jung Woo, who acts as Jjang-gu in the lm, came up with the idea, and director Lee Seong-han completed the scenario to show another growth story of a man.

First Feature This lm shows a cinematic experiment which is led by music and is a road movie which tells the story by following a single musical album. The journey that travels from Gahoe-dong, Seoul to the sea may be viewed as somewhat stereotype. However, during the short running time, the lm unfolds a plain story with the power of music and leads the audience to a more dreamy and fantastic world. The direction of PARK Sung-o, who makes excellent use of music, is interesting. However, it is the charismatic acting of JO Sung-ha, who leads other characters to the sea with just an album, adds more charm of the lm toward the end. The harmony of music, actors, and the road shows differentiated characteristics from other Korean lms. (LEE Sang-yong)

In Korean culture, the term three generations was treated with much meaning. It signies the change of the history and at the same time, the origin of an unchanging Korean society and culture. Director PARK Dong-hoon took three generations of a family which spans from the Japanese colonial period to the present. Tae-suns grandfather was part of a pro-Japanese group during the colonial period, and her father was dictatorial during the neo-military era in 1980s; Tae-sun, being a daughter and a third generation of the family, is portrayed as a character who wants to deny everything about her family. The lm suggests self-examination of Korean modern history effectively compressed within the family history and family relationships. The lm symbolically concludes with the situation where the door of the old house requires a change. (LEE Sang-yong)

Then U.S. soldiers receive orders to re on the villagers...

Second Feature This lm follows a trip to Chuncheon. It is the second feature from director JEON Kyesoo and an interesting repetition of HONG Sangsoos lm, and shows the cinematic impulse of JEON Kye-soo. He is indeed an audacious director. The relationship between a painter and a female college student who follows him would be considered very traditional and cliche. The college student believes that she will be lled with artistic inspiration when she sleeps with the famous artist. The painter is mad at the student yet he plays along with her due to sexual temptation. The lm calls it bad impulse. However, the bad impulse itself is not a bad thing. That same bad impulse sometimes leads a human into the temptation of art and sometimes provides the moment of truth in the throes of lust. (LEE Sang-yong)

A famous story by KWON Jeong-saeng is screened. The original story is known for its lyricism and unique yet popular narrative. However, in the camera of LEE Ji-sang, KWON Jeong-saengs bestseller is transformed into the portrait of the past that lives in much more of a vague and uncertain life. The past is dotted with war and poverty, but Mongsil and her family live on, enduring hunger and suffering. Paternal violence, represented by her father, and phases of times, in which no one can take care of others, are the pain itself. LEE Ji-sang calmly follows the life of Mongsil and observes her growth with a contemplative perspective. Her patient and passive stance signies her growth into a better life. (LEE Sang-yong)

FICTION
There is a grave under the shade of trees whose leaves are a deep summer green. The director happened to find this grave of a young man who sacrificed his life at the June 3rd demonstrations forty years ago, and conceived a plan to make a lm about him. As we can guess from the memorial shown in the beginning of the lm, many of those who witnessed his death at that time promised to remember him and to cherish his memory forever. But forty years later the memory of his death has disappeared without trace. On the way back and forth between Seoul and Chungju, the director has conversations with the ghost of this young man. But in the splendid sunshine and the deep green shade of the trees, their conversations sounds pale and sad. It seems that there is something missing. The hot sun and the luxuriant foliage of the trees rather look like a surrealistic scenery that weighs heavily upon the esh of the dead youth. How could it be this bright? How could it be this green and feign innocence as if nothing had happened? When forty years ago and our present time clash and confront each other, we cant help but think over life and death again and again. Are we alive? There is anger and a feeling of guilt about the shallowness of our present time that has forgotten what should be remembered. But for all that, the lm says that there is still time to ask forgiveness. In this painful and mythological journey, we can nd a thread of will to live even in this supercial world. (MAEN Soo-jin)

Receiving a report on illegal sex trade, the police go into action and arrest three people on the spot. They are Ye-ri, a cinema student, Chun-guil, a disabled man with serious cerebral palsy, and a Catholic priest. They plead not guilty, insisting that it was a volunteer activity, not part of the sex trade. The police admonish them not to do such a thing and set them free. A broadcast reporter follows their story and collects news materials on the case. It is disclosed that Chun-guil confessed to the priest that he wanted at least to masturbate before he died. It is also revealed that Ye-ri persuaded the priest into letting her provide a sex volunteer service to Chun-guil. Ye-ri makes a lm out of it. <Sex Volunteer> is presented in the form of a documentary. With voiceover narration, interviews and captions, and cameras following characters, techniques that have been typically used in documentary lms, Cinematic illusions are successfully removed by this film-within-a-film plot and the documentary form. It leads us to believe that this film shows real people in their real lives, rather than portraying fictional characters in fictional situations. The fictionality of this film remains unrevealed. As a result, the sex trade and sexualities of the disabled cease to be merely scandalous materials for lm, and are rather presented as real issues in our daily lives. It helps us to focus on the theme of the lm and raises the serious issue of our prejudice against the disabled. (Ham Ju-ri)

A sister looking for her runaway younger sister, an animator wandering after leaving work, a reporter, and people who work on a highway rest area are featured in this lm. Director KIM Jeong shows various frames materialized by the people who seek something. They are the information and the movement of lives in the picture, internet, messaging, and more than anything else, in the lm itself. Also working as a professor at Korea National University of Arts, Director KIM Jeong makes another frame with a new alias. Having made a documentary lm in the past, she interestingly crisscrosses her own thinking image and lm frames. It is the search for the lost beings(people, time, and space); at the same time, it is the passion of the vision, hoping for the frame to be expanded. At one highway rest area, everything merges.

Within a week after crossing the border, his reputation fell from a respected global political figure to an infamous communist spy. During a five-year-long trial, he was arrested and held in custody. This throws Korean society into turmoil and brings a big conict between the Conservative and the Progressive. The lmmaker calmly contemplates this long period of the incident in detail and depicts a society with an indifferent manner.

<Heavenly Salmon> is a story of the elderly living in the Beautiful Home, in Wanju, North Jeolla Province. Like the title implies, it portrays the nal days of thirteen elderly women who want to return to where they were born and end their lives there. Daily lives of these women, whose average age is over 80, are consistently calm and lonely. They are just counting the remaining days, waiting for the divine call from the God. The only thing they enjoy and look forward to is the visit from their family. During these short visits, they never stop worrying about their children and husbands. After hurriedly bidding farewell to the family, they look out the window and wipe out tears around their wrinkled eyes. Still, there are more than just silence and hopelessness in their lives. They experience strong affection for life as well as despair; they have empathy for one another as well as hatred; and they cannot help but feel remorseful and sad? these are all part of their lives as they live like a family. The camera delves into the lives of the elderly women and vividly captures the faces of them, who are standing on the border between life and death. (PARK Sun-young)

She moved to a mountainous village, Nae-cheon in Kang-won Province and built a new studio mainly with the debt both from her friends and acquaintances. In the following years, she had to work hard to pay back the money she borrowed from numerous people. The position of art director in Ssamzi-gil project(by which an ambitious Korean entrepreneur tried to create a space combining pop art and commodity) she thankfully accepted helped her a lot in nally cleaning up the debt while consuming her artistic energy to the point of mental and physical exhaustion. Last year, Jin-kyung, now free from the debt, nally held an exhibition for the rst time in last ten years. <The Mountain in the Front> is a lm about the works in that exhibition held under the same title of The Mountain in the Front. Jin-kyung never throws away things. Discarded scraps from the life are recreated in Jin-kyungs hands as the art works.

On those canvases, plastic packing of the instant noodles blossom as owers and her own memories on the past few years are embodied as the images of mountains over mountains in the front.

At a TV Station, an outrageous program is questioning viewers on whether or not a spider should be publicly executed. The spider in question is JE Bul-chal, an earcleaner whose world revolves around earwax. He was once an honest young man and chose his job because he valued the memories of the sister he is now separated from. But with constant reproaches from his boss and customers looking down on him, he became weaker and smaller by the day, ending up so small that he could crawl into ears. Though tiring, he enjoys his work and the opportunities it affords him to peek at other peoples memories. By chance, he discovers a shocking memory inside CHOI Gobong about himself and the sister he misses so much.
