The film "Hi.5" (director: Kang Hyun-chul), starring actress Yu A In, who caused a stir in the public with her drug problems, has been confirmed for release in June, marking her first appearance in about four years.
On the 4th, NEW, the distributor of "Hi.5", told Edaily that they are "preparing to release 'Hi.5' in June," but also revealed that "Yu A In will not be participating in the promotional schedule."
"Hi.5" is a story about five people who accidentally get supernatural powers and what happens when they meet people who want their supernatural powers.
He has produced hits that combine comedy and humanism, such as "Friends Forever" and "Speed Scandal".
The film is directed by director Kang Hyun-chul, who has worked on the film since 1990. The film has garnered attention for its stellar cast, including actors Lee Jae-in, Yu A In, Ahn Jae Hong, Ra Mi Ran, and Kim Hee-won.
This film, like the hit film "The Battle" that was released after about four years and is currently at the top of the box office, stars Yu A In and is a film that has been out of the public eye for a while.
Filming finished in November 2021, but in February 2023, during the latter half of filming, Yu A In's drug problem arose, and the release date could not be determined for a long time.
Following the TV series "Fool of the End," Yu A In's works, such as the recently released "Game," are being released one after another. Hi.5 is closely monitoring the situation.
The filmmakers have been working on the latter stages of the project and have been pondering over the release date. The news of the release of "Hi.5" seems to be the distributor's decision after much deliberation that they cannot postpone the release any further.
It is also highly likely that the success of the risky drama "The Battle," starring Lee Byung Hun and Yu A In as the two main leads, also played a role.
In February, the 5th Criminal Division of the Seoul High Court sentenced Yu A In to one year in prison with two years of probation.
He was ordered to pay 2 million won in fines, 1.54 million won in surcharges, perform 80 hours of community service, and attend 40 hours of drug treatment classes. He was sentenced to one year in prison in the first trial in September last year and is currently in Seoul Detention Center.
Yu A In was released after five months. However, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office is not satisfied with the second-instance ruling and has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court, which will make the final decision.
