As far as I know he and his wife made it to the USA where he, among other things, co-wrote which is basically "Pulgasari for children".
Another piece of information about Shim Hyung Rae: The live action sequences of are from one of his films. The Korean original was heavily butchered and released in the USA as well as Germany (under the title Power Warriors). This movie was heavily influenced by Star Wars, features an evil emperor, two space princesses, a "hero" in a red-silver costume, and a huge robot. Also, a lot of bad acting and silly dialogues.
