Director Kim Hyung-joo expressed his feelings about the change of the release platform.

A production briefing session for the movie 'Victory' (directed by Kim Hyung-joo) was held at CGV I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 7th. Lee Byung-hun, Ko Chang-seok, Hyun Bong-sik, Moon Jung-hee, Jo Woo-jin and Kim Hyung-joo attended the event.

Originally scheduled to be released on Netflix, 'Victory' has changed course and will be available in theaters. Manager Kim said, "It was a structure in which the coach could not play a big role in determining the platform. Since it is an area of business, I think there must have been a difference in positions with each other. From the director's point of view, I am happy to meet the audience in a theater space that makes the movie more like a movie because I made all the preparations for the release of the theater in the first place and finished filming and the second half. In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to numerous actors and staff who worked hard together for a long time."




The story of Korea's best Go legend, Cho Hoon-hyun (Lee Byung-hun), once again challenging himself to the top with his natural temperament after losing a match against his student. From Lee Byung-hun as Cho Hoon-hyun to Ko Chang-seok, Hyun Bong-sik, Moon Jung-hee, Kim Kang-hoon, and Jo Woo-jin, they performed enthusiastically. Yoo Ah-in worked with Lee Byung-hun as a two-top player while playing Lee Chang-ho, a Go prodigy in the play, but the drug scandal caused a stir. Therefore, 'Victory' was also scheduled to be released early on Netflix, but it was released in theaters without being released.

'Victory' will be released on the 26th.
