It also won the Best Screenplay Award at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. Screenwriter Yuji Sakamoto, Asia's first Academy Award-winning musician, the late Ryuichi Sakamoto, and other world-renowned masters worked together.

The launching poster features Soya Kurokawa as ‘Minato’ and Hinata Hiiragi as ‘Yori’. The phrase “Who is the monster?”, which seems to project the children’s profile, creates tension.

Next, the images of his mother Saori (Sakura Ando), who noticed a change in her son Minato and visited him at school, and the people around him, including his elementary school homeroom teacher Hori (Eita Nagayama), are highlighted. Lastly, it shows blood dripping from someone's slipper, foreshadowing that a mysterious incident will occur between them.

Director Hirokazu Koreeda has captivated audiences with his directing that delicately handles everyday moments, focusing on the emotions and relationships hidden inside humans through numerous works such as 'Nobody Knows', 'That's How You Become a Father', and 'A Family'. .

The movie ‘The Monster’ will be released in Korea on November 29th.
