If you loved Seoul Station, try The King of Pigs

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The King of Pigs has roughly 5.9× fewer votes than Seoul Station — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Yeon Sang-ho, and they sit in Animation / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Seoul Station, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The King of Pigs is

Seoul. A rainy night. Cigarette smoke. Childhood friends Jong-suk and Kyung-min meet in a dive bar. Their talk soon turns to middle school. Hazing, class hierarchies, and a mythic classmate called "King of Pigs." A bleak animated vision akin to Satoshi Kon's work.
