Return to Seoul is a 2022 drama film written and directed by Davy Chou, starring Park Ji-min as a 25-year-old French adoptee who travels to South Korea seeking her biological parents.
Production
Director Davy Chou got the idea for the film from a similar experience with his friend, also a Korean French woman, Laure Badufle, who was adopted from South Korean biological parents. In her twenties, she traveled with him to South Korea during the filming of his 2011 documentary Golden Slumbers to meet her biological father and grandmother for the first time.
The film is an international co-production between France, Germany, Belgium, Qatar and Cambodia. Filming took place over six weeks in late 2021 in South Korea and Romania.
