Jeong Ji-yeong

Chung Ji-young was born on 19 November 1946 in Cheongju, in North Chungcheong, and graduated from Korea University in 1975. An assistant to Kim Soo-yong, he made his first film in 1982 and shot mainly melodramas in the eighties. After the end of Chun Doo-hwan's regime, he turned to political and social subjects, and campaigned against prior censorship and the direct distribution of foreign films. Returning after a long pause, he received, for a 2011 film on judicial corruption, the award for best direction at the Blue Dragon Film Awards.
