As one of the notable Korean artists of his generation working across contemporary visual art and documentary cinema, Jung Yoonsuk has created internationally recognized documentary films like Lash (2022), Bamseom Pirates Seoul Inferno (2017), Non-Fiction Diary (2013), and Hometown of Stars (2010). Non-fiction Diary examines the 1990s murders committed by the Jijona gang, and Bamseom Pirates Seoul Inferno chronicles the lives and activities of the eponymous punk rock band. Both films reflect the socio-political incidents of Korean society with sharp and insightful understanding, delving into the hidden side of specific social events to address the complex relationship between the individual and the state, and relate a paradox found in the ambivalence of human existence.
