The movie 'Beat', which depicts Jung Woo-sung in his 20s, is being re-released.

The movie 'Beat', which is the beginning of the relationship between actor Jung Woo-sung and 'Spring of Seoul' director Kim Seong-soo, has released a trailer ahead of its theatrical release on March 6th.

'Beat' is a film depicting the wandering, deviation, and friendship of anxious teenagers at the turn of the century. This work, which was released in 1997, can now be seen in theaters again. Jung Woo-sung, who is currently 50 years old, was 24 years old at the time.

The trailer begins with Jung Woo-sung's intense eyes riding on a motorcycle along with powerful sound. Jung Woo-sung, in his 20s, takes off his motorcycle helmet and is impressed by his handsome appearance. The copy of “I never had a dream,” which is considered one of the famous lines of “Beat,” along with the beeper prop, summons memories of the so-called “Beat generation,” the generation that grew up watching “Beat.” The fight scene, which stands out for its dynamic filming techniques, provides a glimpse into director Kim Seong-soo's unique style of sophisticatedly capturing the sense of loss and anger of wandering youth, while also stimulating the Y2K sensibilities of the MZ generation. It also contains the last famous motorcycle scene, which can be said to be a symbol of 'Beat'.

'Beat', which is being released in theaters this time, is a work filled with youthful energy that condenses the atmosphere of an era, befitting its reputation as the bible of Korean youth films. The dilemma of the youth of that era, who 'had no dreams', captured in 'Beat', is probably a universal emotion that penetrates the times, and that the youth of today can also deeply sympathize with. It is worth enjoying ‘Beat’ again in theaters in March, the season of youth.

Earlier, with the news of confirmed theatrical release and the release of a new poster for the 2024 version, "I've never seen Beat, but I'll go to the theater to see it this time," "I really like the Beat poster. I'll print it and hang it in a frame," "Come! Sweet baby." There were also expectations such as “Hey Jung Woo-sung.”

'Beat' is scheduled to be released at CGV nationwide on March 6th.
