Empress Chung (Korean: 왕후심청; Hanja: 王后沈淸; RR: Wanghu simcheong) is a 2005 animated feature film, produced in North and South Korea and directed by Nelson Shin, on whose story the screenplay is also based.
In this adventure, based on a famous Korean folk tale, a daughter sacrifices herself to restore her blind father's eyesight.
In a move unusual for the Korean film industry, the character voices were recorded in both the South and the North due to differences in dialect.
The film grossed US$140,000 on its opening weekend against a US$6.5 million budget,[1] continuing a trend of under-performing animated features made for the Korean market.
Nowadays, the only things related to the film that are online is the trailer, sound test animation, some screenshots[3] and a collection of children's books.
