About
Lee Hae-jun directed Castaway on the Moon, the indie sci-fi film that became his signature work.

★ FEATURE
Biography
Lee Hae-jun wrote and directed Like a Virgin (2006), Castaway on the Moon (2009), and My Dictator (2014)—three films that trace his evolution from indie dramedy to genre-bending satire. He is a South Korean film director and screenwriter who controls both the script and visual storytelling in his work. Born August 18, 1973, in South Korea, he operates as a life-path 1 archetype: the trailblazer who refuses formula [F1, F2, enrichments]. As a Leo, his directorial vision favors bold character arcs and unconventional narrative structures [F1, enrichments]. Screenwriters typically spend years in development hell; Lee's self-directed path allowed him to move from independent releases to festival recognition without studio gatekeeping. His films oscillate between romantic comedy registers and darker thematic undercurrents, marking him as a genre-fluid voice in early-2000s and 2010s Korean cinema.

- As both screenwriter and director, Lee controls the entire translation from script to screen, a rarity in studio systems and a marker of auteur standing.
