‘Good News’ Sets Oct. 17 Release After TIFF Special Presentations Bow



The Netflix film 'Good News' (directed by Byun Sung-hyun, produced by Star Platinum), which was officially invited to the special presentation section of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, has confirmed its release on October 17.

The teaser poster released catches the eye with the groundbreaking visuals of an unidentified solver, Amugae (Seol Gyeong-gu) and an elite air force lieutenant Seo Seo-myung (Hong Kyung) against the backdrop of the Korean Peninsula.

In 1970, a plane hijacked by a Japanese communist group headed to Pyongyang, and the governments of Japan and South Korea use all means and means to solve it. An unidentified solver, whose name and origin are mysterious, establishes a secret operation under the order of Park Sang-hyun (Ryu Seung-beom), the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, to land the plane unconditionally. The mysterious expression of anyone who secretly solves the country's problems without name or job with his extraordinary head, quick response, and flexible coping ability heralds that this case is never easy to solve.




Unexpectedly mobilized for a secret operation, elite air force lieutenant Seo Sung-myung will be tasked with the desperate task of deceiving the hijackers and hijacking the hijacked airliner back on the ground. Seo Dae-myung's grim appearance, as if in his head according to any operation, stimulates the question of whether he will be able to succeed in this operation and face a golden future.
