HanCinema was founded by Cédric Collemine during the summer 2003 in Korea as a way to present and organize Korean films, directors and actors to non-Korean reading audience.
Along the years, the database has kept growing with the addition of Korean dramas to currently feature 3302 films, 1872 dramas, 12543 people (actors, directors, staff members), 998611 images, 103086 pieces of news and 18892 videos, making HanCinema one of the most comprehensive English websites on Korean cinema and TV. And still growing everyday.
