KIM JHO KWang-soo produced films that carried the voices of social minorities, positioning himself between mainstream commercial films and indie films. He was an active member of [Independent Film Chungnyun] in the early 1990s, which produced a series of fresh films that reflected social realism. He established [Generation Blue Film] and produced Happy End by [JUNG Ji-woo], who was a fellow member of [Independent Film Chungnyun], and Wanee and Junah by [KIM Yong-gyun]. He then produced movies that had strong social agendas of exploring the contradictions of the Korean society, such as Jealousy is My Middle Name, So Cute, No Regret, which was the first bona fide queer movie in Korean cinematic history, ad Boys of Tomorrow, which dealt with the gloomy reality of young people in the world of competition under neo-liberalism. He has transformed into a director since 2008, and has made short and mid-length queer films such as Boy meets boy.
