Born in North Chungcheong Province in 1982, BACK completed undergraduate studies at Inha University and graduate studies in Hanyang University. Through his own production outfit, called Ggueogi Studio, BACK debuted with the ultra low-budget sci-fi romcom <Super Virgin> in 2012. Made for just USD 5,000, the film was well received during its premiere at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BiFan), where it received the FUJIFILM Eterna Award. The film, which went on to screen at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival, stars BACK as a hapless 30-year-old man when undergoes a risky body swap procedure but then discovers that the love of his life only responds to his attractive avatar. Three years later, BACK returned to BiFan with his follow-up film, the ribald genesis comedy <Super Origin>. With a deliberately low-budget aesthetic, the film features cavemen at the beginning of humanity. BACK is called the ‘BIFAN’s Xavier Nolan’.
