Ryu Seung-wan's 'Smuggling' confirmed for release this summer

Director Ryu Seung-wan's new film 'Smuggling' has confirmed its summer release and released its launch poster.

According to distributor NEW on the 25th, 'Smuggling' has been confirmed to be released this summer. In addition, official information and a launching poster for the movie were released. 'Smuggling' is a maritime crime action drama that tells the story of people who become caught up in smuggling on a peaceful beach.

The released launching poster contains the unique silhouettes of Kim Hye-soo and Yeom Jeong-ah, who met for the first time in their filmography. In addition, the appearance of actors Kim Hye-soo, Yeom Jeong-ah, Jo In-seong, Park Jung-min, Kim Jong-su, and Go Min-si, who are a fresh and heart-pounding combination just by name, is expected to appear, adding to expectations.

In particular, with the exception of Jo In-seong of 'Mogadishu', all actors are working with director Ryu Seung-wan for the first time, so interest is focused on the fresh synergy between them.

The launching trailer evokes trust in director Ryu Seung-wan's work, as well as the cool sensibility unique to summer movies in a setting that travels between the sea and the city. Expectations are high to see how director Ryu Seung-wan's crime genre, which returns after a long time since 'Veteran', will unfold with the new cast of Kim Hye-soo, Yeom Jeong-ah, Jo In-seong, Park Jung-min, Kim Jong-su, and Go Min-si.

'Smuggler' is a theatrical release once again presented by Oeyunaegang Co., Ltd., the production company of 'Veteran' in 2015, 'Battleship Island' in 2017, 'Exit' in 2019, and 'Mogadishu' in 2021. It is currently in post-production and will meet audiences this summer.
