Korean film refers to cinema produced in South Korea, which has gained significant international recognition since the late 1990s.
The industry is known for genre-bending thrillers, dark comedies, and revenge narratives with distinctive visual styles.
Parasite was the first Korean film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
The term often appears in discussions of the "Korean Wave" (hallyu), the global spread of South Korean popular culture.
