The highly anticipated drama “Connect,” starring Jung Hae In, Go Kyung Pyo, and Kim Hye Joon as leads, and directed by Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike, has reportedly wrapped up its filming and is now set to be released through global OTT platform Disney+.

He won the Best Popular Award at the 1st Jeonju International Film Festival in 2000, Maverick Award at the 2013 Rome International Film Festival, and Honorary Award at Sitges Film Festival. He gained recognition for his works such as “Laplace’s Witch,” “Imprint,” and “Lesson of the Evil.”
“Connect” is also receiving high anticipation thanks to its quality cast including leading actors Jung Hae In, Go Kyung Pyo, Kim Hye Joon, and other talented names.
According to industry officials, Disney+ is currently coordinating the release date of “Connect” in the first half of next year, most possibly in May. Broadcasters are paying attention to the fresh synergy that Japanese director Takashi Miike and Korean actors will present through “Connect”.
