- Portrayals of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (i.e., LGBT) characters or themes within South Korean film and television make up a relatively small part of the overall body of South Korean motion picture media. The topic has consistently generated discussions both in academia and in the public LGBT movements. As the South Korean LGBT rights movement emerged in the 1990s, film portrayals of queer characters and non-heterosexual relationships grew more common. South Korea has historically not been an LGBT-affirming country, which bleeds into the culture, justice system and general public sense. However, recent study conducted in Chonnam National University states that the attitudes toward homosexuality are becoming increasingly positive. With the increase of social media, the public media plays one of many active players in the cultural creation and consumption as well as the way narratives are created and shared. The cinema and dramas in South Korea especially in regards to LGBT representation has steadily increased over the years. It has also been documented that the queer movement activism and the queer cinema had close connection. One of the examples of this is the Korean Queer Film Festival that began its efforts in the mid-1990s with its first opening in 1998. Beginning in 1945, around the time of the Korean War, up until the present day, LGBT representation in the media has changed and has also created discourses both within academia and every day lives.
