What makes K-documentaries uniquely powerful in capturing the pulse of Hallyu?

Director Jihwan Kim shares behind-the-scenes stories from working with artists like Jaurim, (G)I-DLE, GOT7, and iKON — exploring the rise of Korean music and sports documentaries, the unique challenges of filming celebrities, and how entertainment and documentary storytelling come together to shape a new genre of K-content.

Participants are recommended to watch JAURIM, The Wonderland at Korean Film Festival 2025 in advance.
