The films 'Beat' and 'No Sun' stylishly depict the dreams, frustrations and friendships of adolescents wandering around at the end of the century. Beat' is a portrait of depressed and rebellious teenagers. No Sunshine depicts the reckless defeat of adolescents in their 20s who dream of tomorrow without giving up after hitting rock bottom in life, and is still talked about as one of Korea's most popular coming-of-age films.
Jung Woo-seong has transformed himself from a youth icon into one of Korea's leading actors, while Lee Jung-jae is creating a K-content frenzy through 'Squid Game', which is scheduled to be released for season 2 this year. The news of the theatrical release is expected to bring nostalgia to fans in terms of seeing the fresh looks of these two actors on the big screen, who have been at the top of their game for a long time since their debut.
The recent renewed interest in 'Beat' and 'No Sunshine' is also thanks to the relationship between Jung Woo-seong and director Kim Sung-soo, who directed the hit film 'Seoul Spring', which has been a hit sensation with over 13 million viewers. In an interview for the film 'Seoul Spring', Jung Woo-seong, who has been with director Kim Sung-soo for 28 years from the film 'Beat' to 'No Sun', 'MUSA', 'Asura' and 'Seoul Spring' and has been reborn as the persona of the director, recently said that the spring of his life was in his 20s, when he was in the 'Beat' film. He also said that the spring of his life was when he met the role of "Min" in "Beat" in his 20s. Seoul Spring' has recently created a syndrome among the MZ generation, and it is expected that 'Beat', which offers a glimpse into the essence of director Kim Seong-soo's stylish directing skills, will also arouse curiosity in 'No Sunshine'.
'Beat' has released stills showing the famous motorbike scene that all Koreans know, even if they haven't seen the film, and Jung Woo-seong's good looks. 'No Sunshine' has attracted attention as a still that confirms the collaboration between Jung Woo-seong and Lee Jung-jae, showing the sensibility of the era.
The films 'Beat' and 'No Sun' are scheduled to be released in South Korean theatres in March.
