Seong-ho Jang

Seong-Ho (Jay) isn’t just some random name in Korea’s film industry—he’s the guy who basically dragged VFX into the local scene and made everyone else catch up. Back in his early twenties, while most of us were probably still figuring out what to do with our lives, Jay was already storyboarding feature films, sketching out insane visuals that would soon define a whole era of Korean cinema. He didn’t exactly stop there, either. Instead, he pushed the envelope, mixing his visual communication chops with a wild drive to make things bigger, better, and, honestly, way cooler on screen. Since ’95, Jay’s fingerprints are basically all over Korean film VFX. Seriously, the list is a flex: Joint Security Area, Tidal Wave, Sector 7, Spartacus, Last Knights... and a bunch more—pretty much any blockbuster with jaw-dropping visuals probably had Jay somewhere in the credits. But he’s not just the VFX guy. He’s the dude directors call when their script needs a fix, or when the color palette is just not hitting right, or when the edit needs some magic. He’s even helped rewrite and edit movies like Bedeviled, which went all the way to Cannes and racked up awards. So yeah, if you’ve watched a Korean film in the last couple decades that looked next-level, odds are, Jay had something to do with it.
