Film description
Cheol-jun is a twenty-something defector from North Korea. By day, he attends language school, prepares for university, and works part-time in a convenience store. In the evenings, he meets men through dating apps. Yet his background and sexual orientation leave him feeling isolated from the circle of friends he moves in. During a group date at a club, he meets Young-jun. This encounter changes his outlook on life so far and helps him open up to new experiences.
The feature debut of Park Joon-ho, winner of four out of six awards in the Korean Competition at this year’s Jeonju International Film Festival, is a coming-of-age story seen from two perspectives long pushed to the margins. With sensitivity, the director portrays both members of the LGBTQ+ community and defectors from North Korea as flesh-and-blood individuals who cannot be defined solely by their origins or orientation. Their everyday struggles, interwoven with the city’s nightlife, create a vibrant portrait of young people striving to live on their own terms, even as the world persistently tries to pigeonhole them and impose its rules.
The film is presented in Focus: Migrations and K-Youth sections.
Park Joon-ho
Park Joon-ho was born in 1987. He studied film production at Seoul National University, where he made several short films. His work often portrays young people confronting their past and trying to build their identity in the modern world. He previously worked part-time at a language school teaching defectors from North Korea, an experience that inspired him to tell their stories in his short film “Eun-seo” (2019) and in his feature debut “3670” (2025).
