History edit

Director Ryoo Seung-wan and Kang Hye-jeong coined the name Filmmaker R&K (Korean: 외유내강; Hanja: 外柔內剛; RR: Oeyunaegang) since they made their first short film together in 1996. The company was named after both of their surnames. Its Chinese characters have a meaning of being soft on the outside and strong on the inside, but it also represents Ryoo Seung-wan on the outside and Kang Hye-jeong on the inside.[2]

Filmmaker R&K formally established on May 4, 2005. Director Ryoo Seung-wan and Kang Hye-jeong used the bonus that Ryoo received for film Arahan as capital for the company's establishment.[3] Kang Hye-jeong has been serving as the CEO since its establishment.[4][5]
