Park Ki-chae (born July 24, 1906 ~ ?) is a South Korean film director and screenwriter.

Life
Born in Gwangju, South Jeolla Province, he studied at Doshisha University in Japan around 1927. In 1930, he joined Donga Kinema in Kyoto City as a student and studied filmmaking in earnest. In 1935, after returning home with Yang Se-woong, who worked for the same film company, he made his debut by directing "Chunpung," where a large number of famous literary artists participated as promoters, and next, he became an emerging director who drew attention by making Lee Kwang-soo's novel "Moojung". "Moojung (Heartless)" is also Han's first appearance. At this time, he was one of the directors who actively defended the new trend of literary films.

Another trend in the film industry during this period was the theory of film enterprise. This is because the production cost has risen significantly due to the appearance of vocal films, and the previous production method has reached its limit. Park Ki-chae was one of the up-and-coming groups that insisted on developing Joseon films by creating a large studio. In the end, Ahn Seok-young and Choi Nam-joo decided to establish a vocal film studio and established Joseon Film Co., Ltd. in 1937 with the support of businessmen. "Moojung," which was filmed as a founding film, was successful in both criticism It became a hot topic that even brought about the controversy between Park Ki-chae and Seo Kwang-je over Park Ki-chae's directing technique.

At the end of the Japanese colonial period, he directed pro-Japanese films. The two films, "I am going" (1942) and "Chosun Strait" (1943), are both national films that encourage participation in the Pacific War. In particular, "Chosun Strait," which was produced to commemorate the implementation of the conscription system, is considered a full-fledged pro-Japanese film as it contains the story that the younger brother who participated in the war as a volunteer soldier will follow.

He participated in the film division of the Korean Council for Cultural Construction and the Korean Film Construction Headquarters, which was formed shortly after Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule, and served as the central executive of the Korean Film Alliance, which was established in late 1945. However, due to the left-leaning of the Joseon Film Alliance, right-wing filmmakers, including Ahn Seok-young, left the Joseon Film Alliance and formed a film director club in March of the following year. Park Ki-chae was also classified as a representative right-wing film star by participating in the film director club as an actor.

After Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule, he directed only one episode (1948), a story about detectives attacking smugglers, and suffered from the opposition of the Metropolitan Police Agency reporters for distorting the appearance of a newspaper reporter. He was abducted to North Korea during the Korean War, and his whereabouts are unknown.

In 2008, it was included in the theater/film category of the list of prospective people to be included in the pro-Japanese life dictionary published by the Institute for National Affairs.
