KIM Eui-jeong (김의정) is an audacious South Korean filmmaker whose work explores the raw edges of desire, power dynamics, and queer identity through a lens of provocative sensuality. She burst onto the international scene with her controversial debut feature Sticky Candy (2023), a visually sumptuous yet unsettling exploration of sexual awakening that polarized audiences at Rotterdam. With a background in gender studies and experimental theater, KIM crafts films that are both aesthetically lush and thematically dangerous. Her signature style - blending hyper-saturated colors with psychological tension - has drawn comparisons to early Park Chan-wook and Catherine Breillat. Sticky Candy's unflinching portrayal of a high school student's entanglement with an older woman became a lightning rod for debates about agency and representation in Korean cinema.
