Yu Hyun-mok (born July 2, 1925) is a South Korean film director. Born in Sariwon, North Hwanghae, Korea (North Korea today), he made his film debut in 1956 with Gyocharo (Crossroads). His 1961 film Obaltan "has repeatedly been voted the best Korean film of all time in local critics' polls"[1]. His dedication to the intellectual side of film and interest in using film to deal with social and political issues led him to have difficulties both with box-office-oriented producers, and with Korea's military government during the 1960s and 1970s. Besides his directing activities, he has taught film, and made a significant contribution to Korean animation by producing Kim Cheong-gi's 1976 animated film, Robot Taekwon V.
