The movie 'Rebound' (director Jang Hang-jun) has confirmed its release in April.

According to distributor Barunson E&A on the 24th, 'Rebound' has confirmed its release in April. In addition, two teaser posters and a teaser trailer were released.

'Rebound' is a miraculous story of eight days in which the new coach and six players of the weakest basketball team that no one paid attention to ran tirelessly during the 2012 National High School Basketball Tournament.

'Rebound' is the new work of director Jang Hang-jun, a positive icon who is well-versed in directing movies and dramas such as the movie 'A Night to Remember' and the drama 'Sign', as well as entertainment, and is the film that achieved a miracle in the 2012 Korea Basketball Association National Middle and High School Basketball Tournament. It is a touching true story that depicts the story of the Busan Jungang High School basketball team that was written.

It is known that the production team of 'Crime City', who heard a news report about the Busan Jungang High School basketball team in 2012 and was fascinated by the more dramatic story than their movie, prepared to make it into a movie for about 10 years. Expectations were raised early on as the screenplay was written by Kwon Seong-hwi, who wrote the movie 'Duke' and the Netflix series 'Suriname', and Kim Eun-hee, who wrote the Netflix series 'Kingdom' and the drama 'Signal' '.

Korea's leading storytellers worked together to transfer the emotion that the new coach Yang-hyun Kang, a former high school basketball MVP, and six players created at the 2012 National High School Basketball Tournament to the screen at Busan Jungang High School, which has lost its former glory as a basketball elite.

The two teaser posters that were released captured a moment between the basketball team members and Coach Kang as they devoted themselves to physical training under a clear sky. At first, they ran around randomly, but in the end, the contrast between them standing side by side facing one direction was noticeable.

The bright smiles of Ahn Jae-hong, who plays the new coach Kang Yang-hyun, and Lee Shin-young, Jeong Jin-woon, Kim Taek, Jeong Geon-ju, Kim Min, and Ahn Ji-ho, who play the Busan Central High School rookies, are showing the fresh and refreshing charm of youth that 'Rebound' will present to the audience this spring. .

In the teaser trailer released together, you can get a closer look at their passionate play. Busan Jungang High School participated in the tournament with only 6 entries, and the weakest team that no one paid attention to meets a strong team, and what kind of rebound will achieve a miracle? Realistic screens that capture the heat and excitement of an actual stadium will provide a refreshing experience to basketball fans as well as basketball fans. It arouses the curiosity of prospective audiences who have been waiting for the stories of youth.
