HONG Ye-young is known as the only woman sound supervisor in contemporary Korean film industry. Majoring in filmmaking, she began her career at Bluecap in 1996. After working with the sound mixing team for <Piano Man> (1996), she worked as a sound editor for <The Gate of Destiny> (1996), <Inch'Alla> (1996) and PARK Chan-wook’s second feature <Threesome> (1997), among others. As part of Bluecap, she was involved in many films supervised by KIM Seok-won in the late 1990s and early 2000s; she was in charge of dialogue editing for <Swiri> (1999), sound effects design for <Resurrection Of The Little Match Girl> (2002), and Foley for <TaeGukGi: Brotherhood of War> (2004). In the middle of the 2000s, HONG went freelance and specialized in FX sound design and editing, contributing to the likes of IM Kwon-taek’s <Low Life> (2004) and <Beyond the Years> (2006), and KIM Han-min’s hit debut feature <Paradise Murdered> (2007). After a short period at the in-house sound studio of the Korean Film Council, HONG co-founded her own company Studio SH in 2007 with her college classmate SEONG Ji-yeong, and worked for a few films supported by the KOFIC’s sound studio, including <Secret Sunshine> (2007). Above all, HONG was recognized with her delicate and naturalistic sound design for widely acclaimed arthouse films <Re-encounter> (2010), <Late Autumn> (2010) and <Jiseul> (2012). In 2013, HONG had the chance to work for a Chinese film, Qunshu GAO’s <Wind Blast>. Recently, HONG expanded her filmography to larger budgeted films like <The Target> (2013), <Inside Men> (2015) and <LUCK-KEY> (2015). She has been favored and acclaimed by many filmmakers with her auteur-oriented works.Less
