The first editor-in-chief was Seon-hee Cho, the culture desk journalist. The first issue was published with the articles including "Who is controlling Korean film industry", "The vote of 'Korean film power 50'". 1 August 2003, Cine21 was spun off from The Hankoyreh and became an independent subsidiary ("Cine21 Corporation") of the former. As of 2019, the Hankyoreh Media Group owns 85% of the company's shares.
History
Cine21 was the first weekly film magazine published in South Korea. It was born out of the Hankyoreh Media Group's broader goal of promoting meaningful cultural pursuits on a variety of media platforms following the democratic uprising of 1987.
In 2003, Cine21 Co. was established as its own entertainment media company within the Hankyoreh Media Group. This allowed the magazine to broaden its networking power within the film industry.
In 2007, Cine21i Co. was established as a film distribution company within the Hankyoreh Media Group. The company created an online platform that allows digital film files to be downloaded and distributed legally. This helped to revitalize the South Korean film industry.
