Choe In-gyu

Choi In-gyu was born in 1911 in Yongbyon, in North Pyongan. He left commercial high school, learned to drive, went to Japan without managing to get into the studios, then became in Seoul, around 1937, the assistant of a sound engineer; he shot his first film in 1939. Under the occupation, he directed several films favourable to Japanese rule, which led to his being placed in 2009 on the Korean list of collaborators. Shin Sang-ok began his career under him. He disappeared during the Korean War, perhaps abducted to the North.
