Seok, the manager of a nightclub girl group Thriller, is a man’s man. He tries to bring the group together, but the members never really find unity because of their strong personalities. One day, the group is on the verge of break up due to the involvement of a North Korean spy. Now Seok is the only one who can save Thriller.
He is one of Korea’s best directors who led the Korean film’s heyday in 70’s and 80’s. From the debut romantic drama The Lost Wedding Veil(1970) to the Daejong award winning historical drama General in Red(1973), and from martial arts movies to the nationwide popular erotic movies, his films are never limited to a genre. He won the ISDAP award in Venice and was selected to the Un Certain Regard in Cannes.
