Jinhee Choi is Professor of Film Studies and Head of Department at King's College London's Faculty of Arts & Humanities, with a PhD in Philosophy and Film Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Research focuses on Korean and East Asian cinema, film aesthetics, shojo culture, urban space, and culinary cinema. Key contributions include studies on South Korean girlhood representation, Ozu's transnational influence, and food in cinema.

Publications exhibit sustained engagement with Korean genre cinema (gangster films, horror), transnational adaptations, and philosophical explorations of cinematic time and space. Recent work (2023-2025) emphasizes cultural identity in transnational remakes and necropolitics of girlhood.
