Cho Jung-rae (born October 15, 1973) is a South Korean film director. Cho has made two feature films: Duresori: The Voice of the East (2012), and the documentary Foulball (also known as Wonders, 2015).[1][2][3][4][5][6] He has also directed about 200 commercials, television documentaries, music videos and short films.[7]

Cho is currently working on a new film Spirits' Homecoming, which tells the story of two Korean girls who are kidnapped by Japanese soldiers and forced to work in a so-called comfort station.[8] After one of the girls dies, the two friends have a spiritual meeting years later with the help of a shaman.[7] He originally planned to release it by August 15, 2015, in time for the 70th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II.[9] But the theatrical release had to be delayed because the film had trouble finding a distributor.[10]
