The film ”The New Normal” features a star-studded cast including Choi Ji Woo and Minho (SHINee), and Yoon Sang's diverse music, with Anton (RIIZE) also participating in the music production, is sure to grab your attention!

Choi Ji Woo's first big screen comeback in seven years, "The New Normal," which stars Minho (SHINee) and PO (Block B) among other star-studded cast members, will be released on August 1, 2024.
The film will be released nationwide from the 6th (Friday) at Shinjuku Piccadilly and other theaters. Set in Seoul, South Korea, the film depicts the fear and despair that lie behind familiar encounters, as the strange destinies of six men and women turn their daily lives upside down.
An unpredictable, new-age experiential thriller. This is the latest work from director Jeong Beom-sik, whose previous work "Gonjiam" was a massive hit in Korea.
Jeong Beom-sik, director of "Gonjiam," the second highest grossing horror movie of all time in Korea, and known as the "master of K-horror."
However, in his latest work, he takes on a suspenseful thriller and continues to fascinate audiences. He is loved as a top star of the Korean wave with TV series such as "Winter Sonata" and "Stairway to Heaven", and is the center of the "Korean wave" boom.
Choi Ji Woo, one of Korea's leading actors who has contributed to the success of the drama, takes on the role of Hyun-jung, a woman who cannot laugh, and brings unexpected energy to her cold and icy image, which is something she has never played before.
Lee YuMi, who rose to global stardom with her Netflix series "Squid Game" and "Now, Our School...", is a young woman who wants to connect with people.
She plays the role of Hyun-soo, an ordinary woman in her 20s, and shows off her realistic and energetic acting. In addition, she is a member of the legendary K-POP idol group SHINee.
Choi Minho transforms into a lonely college student who is looking for a connection, and shows off a multifaceted performance that walks the line between romance and suspense thriller.
This is PO (Pyo Ji Hoon), a member of the group Block B,'s screen debut. He plays Gi Jin, a young man in his twenties who becomes so engrossed in romance that he ends up losing his job.
In addition, promising newcomers such as Ha Da-in and Jung Dong-won will also be joining the cast, raising expectations for the film even higher.
Anton from the hottest boy band right now, RIIZE, also participated in the music production! "SE SO NEON", "BBGIRLS" (Brave
The diverse music by music director Yoon Sang, who also worked with the likes of Girls and Miso, is a must-see! Director Jung Beom-sik is known for personally overseeing the music for his own works.
However, for "The New Normal," the range of music he envisioned was so broad that he began filming without deciding which music director he would work with.
Director Jeong Beom-sik, who served as both director and producer for the first time in this work, said, "Being both director and producer, I was exhausted in the middle of filming. To soothe my tired mind, I decided to go to Yunsa.
I used to listen to Yoon Sang's "Running" repeatedly on my way to work, and whenever I felt tired, it was a comfort to me.
The thought came to my mind, and I immediately looked up his contact information and called him. Until then, Yoon Sang had never been in charge of film music for Official, so I was wondering if he would accept my request.
I was skeptical, but Yoon Sang-sunbaenim really liked my debut work, "1942: A Strange Tale," and readily agreed, saying he wanted to work with me.
"I was really happy and personally honored to have had the opportunity to meet Yoon Sang, a musician I have admired since my teens, as director and music director."
"New Normal" offers a wide range of music genres, from EDM to classical, K-POP, and rock.
Yoon Sang, a famous Korean singer-songwriter who is also the musical director for the film, explored various genres to create music that matches each character.
The music enhances the emotions of the characters. In addition, music director Yoon Sang not only actively composes various music, but also provides the soundtracks for director Jeong Beom-sik to use.
He also generously cooperated in transferring the copyright so that the song could be included in the tracklist. Thanks to this cooperation, Ryuichi Sakamoto, who was still alive, even went out of his way to Korea to see the live performance.
The powerful song "The Wave" by the 3-piece band "SE SO NEON" that is attracting attention, and "BBGIRLS" (Brave Girl) arranged by Han Dong-geun are included.
The included songs include "Rollin'" by The Girls and "ALONE" by Miso, which enhances the melancholic aftertaste of the epilogue, providing a feast for the ears.
Of particular note is that Anton, the son of Yun Sang and a member of the hottest boy band RIIZE, is involved in the music production.
"I was the music director for a movie called 'The New Normal,' and I needed music that would match the melody, so I asked my son (Anton) to write it. He stayed up late working on it, and
When I woke up this morning and listened to the song, I got goosebumps. I thought, "Did he make this overnight?" I think blood doesn't lie," he said, praising his talent and the diverse songs that can be enjoyed in this work.
Expectations are rising even more. ■ Movie information "New Normal" Director and screenwriter: Jung Beom-sik "Gonjiam" Cast: Choi Ji Woo "Winter Sonata", Lee YuMi "Squid Game", Choi Mi
