Program Note

A famous social media influencer is captured by a gang without even knowing the reason. Starting as a crime thriller, this work seems to portray our society’s gaze towards media stars, but suddenly takes a sharp turn into the musical genre, as the protagonist starts singing just before facing death. This film showcases the genre fusion that has been frequently attempted recently, and it maintains the director’s unique perspective until the very end. (Kristin JI)
