Jang Jin (1971-) is a South Korean playwright and filmmaker. He began his literary career in 1995 when Heotang (허탕 Vain Efforts) won Yejang Literary Award, and Cheonhodong gu sageori (천호동 구 사거리 The Old Intersection of Cheonho-dong) won the Chosun Ilbo Spring Literary Contest for plays. He sublimates the situations of characters who live with sorrow by laughter. Through “sad but ironic situations where you have no choice but to laugh,” Jang conveys the sorrows and the meaning of life.
