Korea’s most successful directors with 10-million-admission movies are returning. Kang Je-gyu of “Salute D’Amour,” Choi Dong-hoon of “Assassination,” and Lee Joon-ik of “Sado” are coming to the theater this year. The first to meet the audience is director Kang Je-gyu. Creator of “Taeguki” and “Shiri,” Kang is making a comeback with “Salute D’Amour” on April 9. It is a love story about 70-year-old Seong-chil who falls in love with the flower shop owner Geum-nim and people who support the last love of their lives. It captures the two elders’ special romance that is clumsier than first love, more exciting than the first confession, and more heart-fluttering than the first date. The movie stars Park Geun-young, Yun Yeo-jeong, Cho Jin-woong, Han Ji-min, Hwang Woo Seul-hye, Moon Ga-young, and EXO’s Chan-yeol.
“Making ‘Salute D’Amour’ was such a happy experience for me that I wanted it to go on forever. I hope it is a movie that makes you can watch with your loved ones and reflect on the meaning of unchanging love.”

Choi Dong-hoon of “The Thieves” is returning with “Assassination,” a suspense-filled movie set in Shanghai and Seoul in the 1930s. It tells an unpredictable story of independence fighters, Provisional Government officials, and assassinators without a country, a name, or forgiveness who undertake a secret assassination mission. It stars Jeon Ji-hyun, Lee Jung-jae, Ha Jung-woo, Oh Dal-soo, Cho Jin-woong, Lee Gyung-young, and Choi Duk-moon.

“The King and the Clown” director Lee Joon-ik is coming back with “Sado.” The movie re-interprets the well-known, but little understood story of Crown Prince Sado who was condemned to death by his father King Yeong-jo. The cast is led by Song Gang-ho, Yoo Ah-in, and Moon Geun-young.
