}} Choi Dong-hoon (; born 1971) is a South Korean film director. He ranks as one of the most consistently successful directors working in contemporary Korean cinema, with all five of his films becoming commercial hits -- ''The Big Swindle'' attracted 2.12 million viewers, ''Tazza: The High Rollers'' at 5.68 million, ''Jeon Woo-chi: The Taoist Wizard'' at 6.13 million, ''The Thieves'' at 12.9 million, and ''Assassination'' at 11.79 million. ==Career== After graduating from the prestigious Korean Academy of Film Arts, Choi Dong-hoon first worked as an assistant director on Im Sang-soo's ''Tears'' (he subsequently appeared in acting cameos in several of Im's films).〔 After working on the screenplay for two years, Choi made his feature film directorial debut in 2004 with ''The Big Swindle'' and single-handedly re-imagined the heist and crime thriller genre into something uniquely Korean. His follow-up ''Tazza: The High Rollers'', a gambling flick adapted from Huh Young-man and Kim Se-yeong's manhwa, was the third highest grossing Korean film of 2006, and producer/Sidus FNH CEO Cha Seung-jae praised Choi as "a genius storyteller for his spectacular ability to develop elaborate stories." 2009's ''Jeon Woo-chi: The Taoist Wizard'' was lauded as the first Korean fantasy/superhero blockbuster movie, earning Choi a reputation as an artistically innovative and commercially successful writer-director.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.koreanfilm.or.kr/jsp/films/index/peopleView.jsp?peopleCd=10072187 )〕 He returned to the heist genre in 2012 with the star-studded crime caper ''The Thieves'', which attracted almost 13 million viewers in 70 days to become the second all-time highest grossing movie in Korean film history. In 2015, Choi made his first period film with ''Assassination'', about freedom fighters during Japan's colonial rule, and it was once again a box office hit, crossing the 10 million admissions milestone on the 70th anniversary of South Korean independence. ''Tazza'' and ''Thieves'' leading lady Kim Hye-soo described him as "a genius who also works extremely hard. I think he knows who he is, the exact kind of films that he wants to make, and how to make them." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Choi Dong-hoon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
