This summer, the anticipated film "Big Deal" (distributed by SHOWBOX, produced by The Lamp) will unveil itself through a production report today. As audience excitement gradually rises, the film's key points are being revealed.

The soju company, a companion to the people of South Korea, has gone bankrupt!
An attractive premise and neat fun are anticipated!

Soju, as a drink that shares the joys and sorrows of the people, has frequently appeared in films, dramas, and online content throughout South Korean popular culture. However, there has not been a work that primarily focuses on soju, making the film "Big Deal" come to audiences with a fresh and special appeal. "Big Deal" depicts the stories of those who make, protect, and consume soju from diverse perspectives. Notably, the staff of "Big Deal" noted that they sincerely prepared soju, the film's central subject, to enhance the story's appeal. The prominent soju appearing in the film was completed with a new taste through collaboration with Bohae Brewery, and thorough research on various types of soju was conducted to ensure that the lighting design would accentuate the actors' emotional expressions. The fresh premise of "Big Deal," centered around soju, will provide an appealing experience as fresh and neat as soju in theaters this summer.

Only unique are Yoo Hae-jin & Lee Je-hoon, along with Son Hyun-joo, Choi Young-joon, and Byron Mann!
The solid chemistry of skilled actors will add excitement!

For "Big Deal," national actor Yoo Hae-jin and exemplary actor Lee Je-hoon have their first encounter in their filmographies. Yoo Hae-jin plays the role of the financial director of KUKBO, Pyo Jong-rok, whose motto is "the company is life," while Lee Je-hoon portrays Choi In-beom, an employee of a global investment firm who solely pursues results, believing that "work is work, and life is life." The two characters, who differ from each other in their attitudes toward the company, thoughts, and goals, gradually get closer through soju in the film. Their complex relationship deepening through their rivalry over KUKBO's fate is anticipated to be another source of enjoyment in the film "Big Deal."

In addition, solid actors such as Son Hyun-joo, Choi Young-joon, and Byron Mann have joined as special support to heighten expectations. Actor Son Hyun-joo, known for impressive performances across various genres, plays the role of Suk Jin-woo, the chairman of KUKBO who is on the brink of bankruptcy. Choi Young-joon, who has made a notable mark through various works, excels as Koo Young-mo, the representative lawyer of a law firm specializing in crisis management. Joining them, Byron Mann, who has appeared in significant Hollywood works such as "The Big Short" and "Skyscraper," will join in as Gordon, the head of the Hong Kong branch of the global investment company Soul Queen, further enhancing the immersion of the film "Big Deal" and providing high satisfaction to viewers.

The film that offers no hangovers and unending joys
"Big Deal" is a film that all generations can enjoy!

"Big Deal," set against the backdrop of South Korea in crisis in 1997, has been completed as a film that can resonate with viewers across generations, thanks to the meticulously reflected emotions of Jong-rok and In-beom. Art director Kim Bo-mi, who has worked on various projects such as "The Day of the Country's Bankruptcy" and "Runaway," aimed to capture the characters' emotions through the appropriate colors for each character in "Big Deal," as well as details that match the overall sentiment of the film. Additionally, cinematographer Kim Sung-an, who worked on films like "Perfect Strangers," "Pilot," and "Runaway," joined "Big Deal" to ensure that no subtle changes in the actors' expressions were missed, lending power to the story.

The film "Big Deal" tells the story of Jong-rok, a financial director whose life revolves around the soju company, and In-beom, an employee of a global investment firm who solely pursues results, as they confront the fate of soju, the national drink of South Korea, during the 1997 IMF financial crisis. It will be available in theaters nationwide on June 3 (Tuesday).
