CHOI Jinuk (최진욱) is an innovative South Korean filmmaker and visual artist whose work explores the intersections of identity, culture, and the human body through surreal and poetic storytelling. He gained international recognition for his short film Hair Universe (2023), a visually arresting meditation on beauty, transformation, and societal norms. Blending elements of magical realism with striking cinematography, CHOI's films challenge conventional narratives while maintaining deep emotional resonance. His background in fine arts and experimental theatre informs his distinctive aesthetic—one that merges bodily grotesquerie with delicate vulnerability.
