Lady in Dream (1968) [No 3D Blu-ray]

[BleedOrange11]

Thank you, globalimages, for your take on the camera and film and and Japanese book source.

KOFA lists holding the "original negative" (of one eye) as their only element for Hong Kil-dong (1976). Who knows what it really is without further examination and better sources, I guess.

There seems to be crew credits missing from KOFA's database listing for Hong Kil-dong. KOFA only lists Choi In-hyun as the director and Kang Dae-jin as the producer. Further reading on blogs and interviews align with your Japanese source, saying Shin Sang-ok (신상옥) was also director/producer on the film and that he invested 50 million Korean won and 2 years in a Japanese engineer who researched the stereoscopic camera system used. Another article from KOFA says that Choi In-hyun was director, but Shin Sang-ok completed the project. They also say Choi Gil-sun aka Choe Gil-seon (최길선), a frequent collaborator with Shin Sang-ok, acted as cinematographer.

Looking at the actual photographs of the film credits, Choi Gil-sun is credited as cinematographer on image 9/13 (third symbol group). I don't see Shin Sang-ok's symbol in the photos. Not sure why he would go uncredited on the film, if true, but I guess that sort of thing is not too uncommon. The KOFA interview mentions this discrepancy as well and says they are not sure if this is a Shin Sang-ok production or not. They don't have evidence of his involvement.
