In fact, back in 2019 before the global entertainment industry ground to a halt, South Korea’s average cinema audience per capita was among the highest in the world, far surpassing the US, the UK and Australia. And it’s not hard to see why - whether it’s intimate drama or bigger budget spectacles, there has always been an unapologetically bold quality to the f…
