Biography
Kim Young-tak directed and wrote Hello Ghost, a 2010 comedy that became South Korea's 9th highest-grossing film that year and won him Best New Director (Film) at the 47th Baeksang Arts Awards in 2011. Born January 1, 1976, in South Korea, he is a screenwriter and film director. Beyond cinema, Kim has worked in prose: in 2018, he released the thriller novel Gomtang, initially published online before a two-volume physical release. The novel follows a time-traveller who moves from 2063 to Busan in 2019 and encounters a series of murders. As a screenwriter and director, Kim works across multiple media—film, fiction, and online publishing. Born under Capricorn, with a life-path number 7, he channels introspective, analytical energy into both comedic and thriller narratives. South Korean creatives of his generation often blend genre storytelling with literary ambition, a pattern visible in his shift from Hello Ghost's comedy success to Gomtang's darker, speculative tone.
