The film ‘High Five’ starring actor Yoo Ah-in has moved its release date forward.
Distributor NEW announced on the 9th, “The original release date for ‘High Five’ was June 6, but the schedule has been changed to release on the 30th of this month.”
‘High Five’ is a comic action film that tells the story of five individuals who accidentally gain different superpowers through organ transplants and encounter those who seek to exploit their abilities.
The main characters include ‘Wan-seo’ (played by Lee Jae-in), a taekwondo girl who received a heart transplant; ‘Ji-seong’ (played by Ahn Jae-hong), a writer hopeful who received a lung transplant; ‘Seon-nyeo’ (played by Ra Mi-ran), a fresh manager who received a kidney transplant; ‘Yak-seon’ (played by Kim Hee-won), an FM work team leader who received a liver transplant; and ‘Gi-dong’ (played by Yoo Ah-in), a hipster unemployed person who received a cornea transplant. The film is directed by Kang Hyoung-chul, known for directing ‘Speed Scandal’ and ‘Sunny’.
‘High Five’ wrapped up filming in November 2021. However, the release was delayed due to Yoo Ah-in's drug scandal. In September of last year, Yoo Ah-in was sentenced to one year in prison for drug use in the first trial and was incarcerated, but was recently released after being sentenced to one year in prison with a two-year probation in the second trial, five months after his arrest.
