Above all, Bae Doo Na, a world-class actress who is achieving success globally beyond Korea and Japan, is drawing attention as “Next Sohee” is her big-screen comeback film. Expectations are also high for the performance of rookie Kim Si Eun in her first feature film “Next Sohee.”

This February, Jin Sun Kyu’s comedy movie “Count” (director Kwon Hyuk Jae) is also set to be released. “Count” is also created by the production team of the movies “Exit” and “Your Wedding.” “Count” is about a former gold medalist and teacher Si Heon who meets his students and strikes a pleasant blow to the world.

In particular, expectations are focused on Jin Sun Kyu, who has led the box office across various genres such as “The Outlaws,” “Extreme Job,” “Confidential Assignment 2: International,” as he transformed into Si Heon, a unique character whose actions precede words. “Count” is said to reproduce a retro sensibility of the 90s that stimulates nostalgia from its colors to props, adding to expectations.
