Director Park Hee-jun holds dubbing masterclass, eyes global blockbuster 'HIS KINGDOM'

Director Park Hee-jun (박희준) ran a summer vacation masterclass at Cheonan Voice Acting and Acting Academy for prospective voice actors and actors.

Actor Jo Gyu-jun (조규준), who voiced the Dragon King brothers in the animation Nezha 2 (너자2), suggested the session. Park walked students through the Korean dubbing production process for Nezha 2—the 2025 global box office number-one animation, where he handled Korean adaptation, editing, and dubbing direction. He also shared experience from the Korea-Vietnam co-production Reset (리셋).

"It was a time to share experiences and communicate together rather than with the mindset of teaching someone," Park said. He gained energy from the passion and potential of young people and wants to keep sharing field experience with junior colleagues.

Park started in the industry as screenwriter and producer on Yonggary (용가리), then took on production, screenplay, and directing for Cheonsamong (천사몽). That film earned an official invitation to the competition section of the Valenciennes International Action and Adventure Film Festival in France—the first time an Asian director achieved that. He has since led international co-productions including Come Back to Busan Port Ae (돌아와요 부산항애), Reset, Kidnap: 48 Hours (The Guardian), and Putin.

(The man has range.) He is now working on domestic and international investment attraction and casting for Jesus: Kingdom of the King (HIS KINGDOM), a global historical fantasy blockbuster based on the English-language novel K-JESUS, published on Amazon.
