This paper explores the concept of cyberspace and the Neuromancer through the Korean films <Fabricated City>(2017) and <Wonderland>(2024). <Fabricated City> presents an externalized cyberspace through game rules and data power, while <Wonderland> depicts an internalized cyberspace through the virtualization of emotions and memories. Both films reveal issues of ethics and identity between reality and virtuality, offering meaningful attempts to reinterpret, vary, and expand the concept of the Neuromancer within Korean cultural and social contexts.

Yunjik Chung is interested in research related to spaces depicted in visual media. By focusing on memory and allegory within space, their work seeks to integrate history, culture, society, and genre. The scholars who have particularly influenced the author include Walter Benjamin and Jean Baudrillard. Drawing on Benjamin’s theories of ruins, reproduction, and traces, as well as Baudrillard’s theory of simulation, he explores the notions of reality and virtuality in space. Through this exploration, they aim to offer an integrative and multifaceted reflection on the spaces in which we live today.
