After graduating from the Korean Film Academy in film sound in late 1980s, LEE Seung-chul, born in 1961, began his career as an assistant boom operator for <That Which Falls Has Wings> (1989) by JANG Gil-soo. He then entered the sound studio of the Korean Motion Picture Promotion Corporation (KMPPC; now KOFIC), and learned sound design, mixing and editing from the first generation of film sound supervisors in the industry. Working on many important films of the 1990s, he often reinvented himself. While collaborating with LEE Chang-dong for <Green Fish> (1997), he embraced a new conception of sound design as the director asked him to use as ambience the sound recorded on set and to accept imperfections in the dialogues as long as they sound natural. Director LEE Gwang-mo’s <Spring in My Hometown> (1998) was also another chance for LEE to change his methodology. In 1999, LEE left KOFIC and found his own company Wave Lab with his former colleagues LEE Seong-jin and PARK Joon-oh. Wave Lab grew to become one of the biggest film sound studios in Korea, providing production sound mixing service and supervising hundreds of films including LEE Myung-se’s <Nowhere to Hide> (1999) and PARK Chan-wook’s <Oldboy> (2003). LEE also won three times the Grand Bell Award for Best Sound Design, for <Eternal Empire> (1995), <Seven Days> (2007) and <Ode to My Father> (2014). close
