He made his debut in the early 1960s with the film "The Only Son", becoming one of the country's youngest directors at just over 20 years of age. He was seen as one of the pioneers of the South Korean film renaissance of the 1960s. He served as the CEO of Woojin Films, owned Cinehouse Theater, and Woojin Video Productions.
