Biography
[

]
Kim Ho-sun was born 9 March 1941 in
South Hamgyong Province
, now part of
North Korea
. He dropped out of
Kyung Hee University
and made his directorial debut in 1974 with
Hwannyeo
.
A member of the so-called "Visual Age" of Korean directors, Kim made some of the bestselling Korean films of the 1970s. The
local Korean cinema industry
in the 1970s had to face the challenges of foreign imports, increased television ownership, and the stifling censorship of the military dictatorship of
Park Chung-hee
.
Kim began his directing career making what are known as "hostess films," one of the few genres that the censors allowed some latitude to, these were melodramas that portrayed the lives of
bargirls
and their milieu. Kim showed that despite the formulaic restrictions the censors placed on filmmaking, locally made films could still be individual and sell well, and in doing so inspired his fellow filmmakers. In terms of tickets sold,
Winter Woman
that he directed in 1977 was the bestselling domestic film of the 1970s,
[1]
and would hold the record until
General's Son
in 1990.
[2]
Since 2007, Kim has been a senior advisor to the Korea Film Directors' Society (KFDS).
