Director Han Jun-hee is carving out a distinctive creative signature in Korean content with his unique approach to genre storytelling.
From the gritty military drama D.P. to the high-school action series Weak Hero, Hanโs works resonate with both domestic and international audiences for their complex narratives and sharp social commentary.
Rather than relying solely on action, Hanโs storytelling integrates layered plotlines. It blends suspense, drama and satire to highlight institutional violence and systemic injustice, often set within confined social spaces such as schools or military bases.
These themes have struck a chord with modern viewers who are increasingly drawn to stories that ask deeper questions about power and accountability.
He made his feature debut with Coin Locker Girl (2015), following up with 2019โs Hit-and-Run Squad. He served as creative director on Weak Hero and the 2025 drama Tastefully Yours, with his works consistently carrying weighty themes and a satirical edge.
