Collective Invention (Hangul돌연변이; RRDolyeon Byeoni; lit. "Mutant") is a South Korean black comedy film written and directed by Kwon Oh-kwang. It is about a hapless fish-man's meteoric rise to celebrity — and subsequent fall from grace. The film was screened in the Vanguard section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.

A medical experiment gone wrong and a man mutates due to side effects from an experimental drug administered to him, turning him into a fish-man. When his supposedly girlfriend posts the story of her 'fishy' boyfriend on the internet, a wannabe reporter starts digging for the truth, covering the news about the mutant fish-man.

The film was number five on its opening weekend, with ₩578 million.
