Kim Tae-yong (born March 20, 1987) is a South Korean film director and screenwriter. Kim got into filmmaking before he turned 20 years old, after watching and inspired by the film The Son by directors Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. He was nicknamed "a short film executive" as he had made many shorts from As Children (2005), Twenty's Wind (2005), You Can Count on Me (2006) to Frozen Land (2010). His shorts including Night Bugs (2012) and Spring Fever (2013) received theatrical releases as omnibus films with other directors' works.[1][2]
His directorial feature debut Set Me Free (2014), critically acclaimed for its stable scriptwriting and direction,[1] is based on his own story. As in his early films, he shows affection towards those who struggle to be loved. He is also very curious about what a human being dares to do in order to be loved.[3]
