Man-seob used to be the king of Jok-gu, a fusion of football and volleyball.
He was infamous for his unstoppable
foot spike while serving in the army. He
returns to school after completing his
military service only to find the Jokgu
court has been removed. He inquires to
why the court has been removed to anybody that will listen but discovers that
no one cares. Everyone is too preoccupied with finding a job and their careers,
all sense of romantic or fun notions has
vanished. Man-seob meets Anna, the
school queen, who he falls in love at
first sight. To win her heart he relies on
what he does best and looks to organise a Jokgu championship.

Filmmaker Woo Moon-gi whose
short films include The Boy Physics
and Lost in Transportation, has shown a unique talent in ‘exquisite combination of sensitive character comedy and
sharp satirical drama’ have competed
well at numerous film festivals. Not only
a talented director, Woo Moon-gi has
turned his hand to a number of other
areas in filmmaking including contributing as an art director of Sunshine Boys,
a director of a music video for musician
‘Peppertones’, and an actor in short and
feature films such as The Legacy.

If you are interested in a earnest,
coming of age comedy with a little bit
of sport thrown in then The King of Jok-gu is the film for you.
