Jaehuen Chung

Mr. and Mrs. Chung met in Seoul, South Korea. Their first date was at a local eatery, where they split a rotisserie chicken. Mr. Chung was duly impressed by Mrs. Chung’’s fearlessness in eating the chicken with her hands. They were married in 1978, and then had their son, Jaehuen Chung, a year later. Jaehuen spent most of his childhood in Tokyo, Japan, before coming to the U.S. when he was fourteen years old. He earned a BFA from NYU’’s Tisch School of the Arts and most recently just graduated from the American Film Institute’’s prestigious graduate Directing program. He hopes MR. & MRS. KIM will speak to three precious ladies in his life: his loving Mother, who likes to see compassion on screens, his beautiful wife, who enjoys experiencing new worlds, and his adoring daughter, who Jaehuen wishes to grow up a dreamer.
