Park Jung-woo, who was born in 1969, made his film debut in 1991 as the first assistant director on CHUNG Ji- young’s. He centered his career on the screenplay after contributing to I Wish For What Is Forbidden To Me(1994). He worked on many box office hits, including Attack The Gas Station(1999), Kick the Moon(2001), Break Out(2002), and Jail Breakers(2002), the latter of which earned him a Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Screenplay. He continued to work as a first AD, with his most significant credit being LEE Chang dong’s oasis. He leaped into the director’s chair in 2004 with the melodrama picture “Dance With The Wind” after impressing audiences with the sharp-witted social commentary present in his writings and establishing himself as a bankable screenwriter. Big Bang (2007) was his next endeavor, and it was all about deviating from established standards and overwhelming society rules. He returned five years later with the thriller Deranged (2012), the first Korean film about a disease outbreak, which was a box office success with 4.5 million ticket sales. Following this success, he returned to the catastrophe genre by creating and directing Pandora (2016), a film about a nuclear accident that drew 4.5 million viewers.

He had worked as director for Dance with the Wind (2004), Big Bang (2007), Deranged (2012), and Pandora (2016). In addition, he had worked as assistant director for Beyond the Mountain (1991), Wish for What Is Forbidden to Me (1994), To You from Me (1994), A Man Wagging His Tail (1995), Change (1997), and Oasis (2002). Furthermore, he had worked as a screenwriter for The Last Defense (1997), First Kiss (1998), Attack the Gas Station (1999), Promenade (2000), Last Present (2001), Kick the Moon (2001), Break Out (2002), Jail Breakers (2002), Dance with the Wind (2004), Big Bang (2007), Thirsty, Thirsty (2009), Descendants of Hong Gil-dong (2009), Deranged (2012), and Pandora (2016).
