One of the most acclaimed and popular filmmakers in Korea, Park Chan-wook, is directing singer Lee Jung-hyun’s new music video for her upcoming mini album’s title song, according to Lee’s agency Ava Film and Entertainment on Friday.

Park Chan-wook is most known for his 2002 film “Joint Security Area,” the vengeance trilogy “Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance,” “Oldboy,” and “Sympathy for Lady Vengeance” as well as his latest Hollywood film “Stoker.” His films are noted for their often brutal subject matter.

“Director Park and his brother Park Chan-kyong have been working on Lee Jung-hyun’s music video for her mini album title since July 2,” an official from Lee’s agency said. The music video will be released at the end of July. The three had worked together on the 2011 short film “Night Fishing (Paranmanjang),” leading them to work together once again.

Singer and actress Lee is widely known as “the techno queen” as she introduced the techno music genre to Korea in 2000. She is making her comeback as a singer after a three-year hiatus since her seventh album in 2010.
