A py of Han Hyung-mo's film Jealoy (1960), nsired one of the earlit Korean films to display homoerotic behavr between women, remas missg.

Director Leong Hee-il, one of South Korea’s preement gay filmmakers, has wrten that a queer film is only one where the protagonist clearly relat that they are gay.

Here I quote Jeong-m Kim, who asks: “Do films for unrstandg ‘homosexuals’ and queer films mean the same thg? Even when Wong Kar-wai’s Happy Together (1997) was banned by Korean thori, one uld still attend an illegal screeng of the film wh stunt-ma Korean subtl gay bars, nightclubs, and universi. Though homosexualy self is not illegal, South Korea do not clu sexual mori s anti-discrimatn bill, acknowledge same-sex marriage (or any legal unn between same-sex upl), perm the adoptn of children by same-sex upl, or allow for nsensual sexual activy between gay soldiers.

In retaliatn, some queer Korean films disavow rpectabily polics wh bold exprsns of what Kyungtae Kim lls “queer anarchism”—an affective ristance to the gay muny and the state, which fds eedom personal relatnships. Refg to be pacified or domtited, the gay nomads and hchhikers Yellow Hair (1999) and Road Movie (2002) live out every feelg to s fullt. The two men Leong Hee-il’s No Regret (2006)—the first Korean feature directed by an openly gay filmmaker—stumble to love after a fistfight where they thst their lt upon each other.
