Stunt & Action Industry Directory
An independent, unranked guide to South Korea's stunt and screen-action world — the national film council and performer body, Seoul Action School and the action-director teams behind the rough-realist Korean action style of Oldboy and Train to Busan, and the schools training the country's screen-action talent.

Unions & Industry Bodies
Korean Film Council (KOFIC)
영화진흥위원회
Govt Film Body · Busan
South Korea's principal state film agency under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism — funding production, running the national box-office system, and maintaining the official film database, which includes a dedicated "Martial Arts Director" credit. The central authority to anchor any Korean stunt directory to.

한국영화배우협회 (KFAA)
Performers' Association · Seoul
Officially established in January 2003, advocating for film actors' rights, welfare and professional status and running talent activities. The closest thing to an actors' guild that would also cover action performers, though it is not stunt-specific.

스포츠안전재단
Safety & Insurance Body · Seoul
A foundation under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism providing safety inspection, education and a mutual-aid compensation scheme for high-physical-risk activities. Tangential — its core remit is sports rather than film — but the most relevant standing body for physical-performer injury insurance.

한국영화아카데미
National Film School · Busan
Established 1984 by KOFIC, Korea's top state film school (alumnus: Bong Joon-ho), training directors, cinematographers, producers and more. Not a stunt school, but the flagship national screen-training institution and the formal counterpart to the practical stunt academies.
