Shim Sung-bo (born 1972) is a South Korean film director and screenwriter. Shim came to prominence in a big way when he co-wrote Memories of Murder with director Bong Joon-ho in 2003. Besides winning numerous awards and widely considered to be one of the greatest Korean films of all time, Memories of Murder was praised for its twisting genre conventions to deliver a product that became a big hit in Korea (with over 5.1 million admissions, making it the most watched film during the year 2003 in South Korea) as well as a successful piece of social cinema that engaged with Korea's troubled history.[1][2]
For Shim's directorial feature debut, Bong and Shim reunited as producer and director, and co-wrote Haemoo, which won various awards, including Golden Orchid for Best Narrative Feature at the Hawaii International Film Festival in 2014.
