Funky Freaky Freaks (Korean: 충충충) is a 2025 Korean comedic film directed by Han Chang-lok about teenagers on the fringes of Seoul society.[1] It won the Special Jury Award at the 2025 Busan International Film Festival.[2][1]
The movie follows a group of three teenage friends: Yong-gi, an ordinary boy; Ji-sook, a girl with a messy home life; and Dum-bo, an effeminate boy who sometimes pretends to be a girl on the phone.[3]
Outside of class, the three friends engage in mischief.[3] They administer pranks, such as through selling used panties to perverts.[3] Yong-gi looks after Ji-sook.[3] The dynamics of the trio are disrupted by the arrival of new transfer student Woo-joo, which causes jealousy and conflict.[3]

Reception
Pierce Conran of ScreenAnarchy notes while “Han's overall style isn't exactly new”, the film’s “contemporary mix of media makes it feel fresh, particularly when contrasted with its frequently polished but occasionally dry indie peers.” [3]
Oris Aigbokhaevbolo of The Film Verdict writes “Funky Freaky Freaks is worth the time spent with its crazy young people as they hurtle towards the bleak future they have created for themselves.”.[5]
