Moho Film

Moho Film is the South Korean production company founded by director Park Chan-wook in 2002, built on the commercial success of Joint Security Area (2000). In November 2021, CJ ENM acquired a controlling stake in Moho Film, integrating it into the conglomerate's entertainment portfolio while Park retained creative autonomy. The company has produced every Park-directed Korean feature since its founding. The filmography reads as a masterclass in Korean cinema: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002), Oldboy (2003), Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (2005), I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK (2006), Thirst (2009), The Handmaiden (2016), and Decision to Leave (2022), which won Park the jury prize for Best Director at Cannes. Outside Park's own directorial slate, Moho Film also supervised production on Bong Joon-ho's international co-production Snowpiercer (2013). The company's most recent production, No Other Choice (2025), adapts Donald Westlake's crime novel The Ax into a Korean-set black comedy thriller starring Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin. The film had its world premiere in competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on August 29, 2025, drawing significant awards season momentum. It received three nominations at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards -- Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy), Best Foreign Language Film, and Best Actor (Lee Byung-hun) -- and was shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. Distributed domestically by CJ ENM and in North America by Neon, the film grossed $39 million worldwide on a budget of approximately $12 million. Moho Film operates without a public web presence or social media. The company's output is judged entirely through the work it produces.
