This paper delves into the clash between post-feminism and remasculinization within contemporary Korean cinema, with a specific focus on Park Chan-wook’s romantic mystery film, Decision to Leave (2022). While previous research has mainly focused on diverse themes, such as romance, gender, ethical violence, and human existence with transcultural imagery, this study adopts an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the film’s artistic incorporation of metaphorical imagery, particularly the mountain and sea, and how it illuminates the gender dynamics within the play. The paper argues that these visual elements shed light on the gender dilemma inherent in the cross-cultural and multi-dimensional elements in of South Korean filmmaking. By examining the embodiment of individual concept, post-feminism and remasculinization, in the prototypes of Seo-rae and Hae-jun respectively, the paper uncovers the underlying causes of the failures in their interaction and the tragic fate of their relationship. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that these diverse and dynamic ideologies, including remasculinization and post-feminism, create and correspond to the metaphorical haze pictured in the film. The imagery of haze lingers the obscure cinematic landscape surrounding contemporary gender dilemma in South Korea.
