A Man Who Was Superman (Korean: 슈퍼맨이었던 사나이; RR: Syupeomaenieotdeon sanai) is a 2008 South Korean comedy-drama film directed by Jeong Yoon-cheol, starring Hwang Jung-min and Jun Ji-hyun. The film applies techniques of magical realism to problems arising from the narcissism of small differences that plagues the modern Korean conscience.
