Be prepared to double up with laughter as the Korean Box Office hit comedy movie “6/45” comes straight to your screens via Astro First and unifi TV On Demand from Tuesday, 1 November! Directed by Park Gyu-Tae (“Bunt") and starring Ko Kyoung-pyo, Lee Yi-kyung, Eum Moon-suk and Kwak Dong-yeon, “6/45” is a comedic encounter between North and South Korean soldiers over a 5.7 billion won winning lottery ticket that crosses the Military Demarcation Line. South North sergeant “Chun-woo” is in his final weeks of military duty when a top-prize winning lottery ticket lands at his feet. While he dreams of claiming the winning prize money, a gust of wind accidentally blows the lottery ticket over the Military Demarcation Line to North Korea. “Chun-woo” risks crossing the Military Demarcation Line to retrieve it but waiting for him there is Yong Ho, a North Korean soldier who finds the ticket and claiming "Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers". With no conclusion to the rightful owner of the lottery ticket and prize money, each side enlisted the help of their own comrades to participate in the negotiation. An intense and hilarious confrontation between the North and South Korean soldiers begins as they battle out their wits to claim their 5.7 billion won dream! “6/45” generated more than USD$13.8M and close to 2M admissions in the Korean Box Office. Powered by excellent word-of-mouth reviews, it is the #1 hit comedy film of 2022 and is currently in the top 10 highest grossing box office films of 2022 to date. In Vietnam, “6/45” emerged as the highest-grossing South Korean film, setting a new record for South Korean film earnings in the country. The movie’s Indonesia theatrical release in mid-October also received rave reviews and is holding strong in box office rankings since its premiere despite competition from newly-debuted local films. 

The highly anticipated thriller film, Remember, is confirmed to stream on iQIYI this year. Starring Lee Sung Min and Nam Joo Hyuk, the film is directed by Lee Il Hyung, the former director of A Violent Prosecutor (2016). The all-star credits roll doesn’t just end here–Remember is produced by Yoon Jong Bin, who also produced blockbusters such as Nameless Gangster (2012), Kundo (2014), and The Spy Gone North (2018) with production house Moonlight Pictures, who are the ones behind the recent hit Korean drama series Narco-Saints (2022). This film, which will plunge audiences into a fast-paced battle of wits, is also a remake of Atom Egoyan’s 2015 film of the same name. Remember tells the story of Pil Joo, played by veteran actor Lee Sung Min, an Alzheimer's patient in his 80s who has vivid memories of the Japanese colonial rule in the early 1900s. As memories of his family who died during the war begin to fade, he becomes determined to devote the rest of his life to getting back at the pro-Japanese troops who killed them with an elaborate plan he formulated for 60 years. He recruits the help of his close friend and co-worker In Gyu (played by Nam Joo Hyuk), who is in his 20s and becomes his partner in the revenge plot. It is not long until In Gyu finds himself in trouble as he becomes the prime suspect of murder after being captured on a security camera at a crime scene. In a race against time and fading memories, Pil Joo attempts revenge while helping to clear In Gyu’s name. Lee Il-Hyung, the director of Remember, shared that the context of the Japanese colonial period has left different impressions on Koreans and has been extensively covered in literature, film and television. “I wanted to portray this period not in a macroscopic view or as a recorded case that can be read in a textbook, but as a way to bridge modern outlook to that period,” he shared. This marks the first collaboration between Lee Sung Min and Nam Joo Hyuk – two renowned actors that have been actively immersing themselves in huge projects in recent years. Lee Sung Min was catapulted into the spotlight with his award-winning performances in popular titles including Golden Time (2012), Misaeng: Incomplete Life (2014), and The Spy Gone North (2018), while Nam Joo Hyuk played the leading role in Who Are You: School 2015 (2015), Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo (2016), and Start-Up (2021).
