Biography
Lee Ho-jae is a South Korean film director and screenwriter born January 3, 1973. His directorial debut, the crime thriller The Scam (2009), earned Best New Director at both the 46th Grand Bell Awards in 2009 and the 46th Baeksang Arts Awards in 2010, establishing him as a distinctive voice in Korean cinema. His second feature, Robot, Sori (2016), pivoted to science fiction drama, centering on a man tracking down his missing daughter's voice with a robot's assistance—a premise that deepens into an exploration of bond-formation between human and artificial intelligence. As a screenwriter and director, Lee works across genre boundaries, from noir-inflected crime to speculative fiction. Born under Capricorn, his work reflects the sign's affinity for structural precision and emotional restraint; his Life Path number of 6 aligns with his thematic focus on relationships and responsibility. South Korean filmmakers operate within a robust, internationally competitive industry, and Lee's award recognition in his debut year marked him as a talent to watch.
