AKP STAFF

The beloved memories of the past are making a grand return, this time transitioning from the small screen to the big screen with the upcoming release of the movie 'Again 1997'. Originating from the popular 2012 tvN drama 'Reply 1997', which captured hearts with 16 episodes starring singer and actor Seo In Guk, this cinematic adaptation is eagerly anticipated for its potential to evoke nostalgia and captivate audiences once again.

On February 20 KST, the official poster was revealed, heralding the arrival of 'Again 1997' as a life-altering cinematic journey set to reignite the fervor of reminiscing on the silver screen. The movie presents a unique narrative premise, revolving around a man who, upon receiving five amulets, is transported back to pivotal moments in his past to rectify regrets and embark on a transformative journey.

Drawing inspiration from the successful 'Reply' series, 'Again 1997' promises to transport viewers back to the iconic year of 1997, embracing the distinctive retro ambiance of that era. With elements of fantasy interwoven with themes of friendship, fate, and the longing for redemption, the film offers a multifaceted viewing experience enriched with humor, action, thriller, and melodrama.

Leading the cast is Jo Byung Kyu, celebrated for his roles in popular dramas and films, who portrays the enigmatic character 'Wooseok'. Alongside him is iKON member Koo Jun Hoe, known for his versatile talents, taking on the role of 'Bong Gyun', Wooseok's loyal friend and basketball enthusiast. Choi Hee Seung, acclaimed for his performance in web dramas, completes the trio as 'Ji Sung', adding depth to the ensemble with his portrayal of a fun-loving and dependable friend.

Newcomer Han Eun Soo brings youthful energy to the screen as 'Jimin', Wooseok's junior and first love, while seasoned actors Park Cheol Min, Lee Mi Do, and Kim Da Hyun contribute to the film's ensemble with their seasoned expertise.

Helming the director's chair is Shin Seung Hoon, ensuring a cinematic experience that seamlessly blends nostalgia with contemporary storytelling.
