Veteran producer Jonathan Kim has served two terms as the Chairman of the Korean Film Producer’s Association. With the career in the Korean film industry that span over 25years, Kim has produced over 20 motion picture films. He has recently concluded his appointment as an executive-level film consultancy role at South Korean entertainment conglomerate CJ E&M where he played an integral part in success of “Masquerade” and “A Wedding Invitation”.
His 2004 blockbuster “Silmido”, based on the true story of a team of South Korean commandos trained to assassinate the North Korean President, blew away with all records with 11 million box office tickets sold, representing one-quarter of the South Korean population. In 2004, Mr. Kim was awarded the Daejong Award for Best Executive Producer, the Korean equivalent of Oscar.
A member of Korea/Japan Culture Exchange Committee and an International Advisor to the Hong Kong Asian Financing Forum (HAF), Kim has also been an advocate of intra-Asian co-productions. A regular speaker at various International Film & Contents industry forums, he sells Korean contents as cool and the most vibrant industry in Asia.
