Han Gong-ju (Korean한공주) is a 2013 South Korean crime drama film written and directed by Lee Su-jin, starring Chun Woo-hee in the title role.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It was inspired by the infamous Miryang gang rape case of 2004.[7]

The film premiered at the 2013 Busan International Film Festival where it won the CGV Movie Collage Award and the Citizen Reviewers' Award.[8]

As it traveled the international film festival circuit, Han Gong-ju won several top prizes, including the Golden Star at the 2013 Marrakech International Film Festival,[9][10] the Tiger Award (given to films that "give young filmmakers a voice" and "push boundaries") at the 2014 International Film Festival Rotterdam,[11] and the Jury Prize, the Critics' Prize, and the Audience Award at the 2014 Deauville Asian Film Festival.[12][13][14]

The Rotterdam jury praised it as "a skillfully crafted and highly accomplished debut. Deviating from a typical chronological narrative structure, the film lures the spectator to participate in the pleasures of storytelling through an extraordinary and intricate narrative puzzle."[15][16]

Han Gong-ju was released in theaters on April 17, 2014.
