Born 1986, LIM Dae-hyung is a theater and film graduate of Hanyang University who debuted with the short <LEMON TIME> (2012), before gaining his first notice when he won the Excellence Award at the Seoul Independent Film Festival for the short <The World of If> (2014). The year 2016 saw him break through when he presented his feature film <Merry Christmas Mr. Mo> (2017) at the Busan International Film Festival and won the NETPAC Award. LIM was later named Best New Director in Fiction by the Wildflower Film Awards and Best New Director by the Busan Film Critics Association. His sophomore project <Moonlit Winter> (2019), which is mainly set in Hokkaido, Japan, earned him wider recognition, scoring more than 120,000 admissions upon its release, an impressive feat for an indie film revolving around a romantic relationship between two middle-aged women. The film also allowed him to receive the awards for Best Screenplay and Best Director from the Korean Association of Film Critics.Less
