The Cultural Heritage Administration has announced the planned registration of four films - 'Nakdong River', 'Money', 'The Housemaid', and 'Seong Chunhyang' - as National Cultural Heritage.

Produced in 1952, 'Nakdong River' portrays the efforts of a protagonist striving to enlighten villagers and improve their community during the Korean War.

'Money' (1958) vividly depicts the harsh realities of rural Korea, including issues like predatory lending.

'The Housemaid' (1960) delves into human desires and social contradictions through the conflicts between a middle-class family and a housemaid aspiring for social mobility.

'Seong Chunhyang' (1961), Korea’s first color CinemaScope film, is celebrated for its vibrant colors and wide-screen presentation, marking a significant milestone in Korean cinematic history.
