Leading South Korean sales company Finecut has picked up international sales rights to action comedy film “Boss.” It will launch the title at next week’s FilMart in Hong Kong.
Directed by Ra Hee-chan, the film follows gang members embroiled in fierce competition. They struggle not just for supremacy within their clan, but also to achieve their own dreams in everyday life.
“Boss” stars Jo Woo-jin as a man who wants to run his family’s Chinese restaurant; Jung Kyung-ho (“Men of Plastic”), who believes it is his destiny to be a Tango dancer; and Park Ji-hwan (“The Roundup” film series), who is the most eager member to be the boss, but nobody wants him.
Production is by Hive Media Corp., the company behind the late 2023 box office hit “12.12: The Day,” which garnered over 13 million admissions.
Finecut will be screening the first footage from the new title at its booth in FilMart.

Nestled within Gangnam, one of the wealthiest districts in Seoul, lies the ward of Apgujeong, one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in all of South Korea. Filled with department stores, high-end shops, boutiques, cafes etc., the area is also most known for the many plastic surgery clinics spread all over. So many clinics exist in the neighborhood, in fact, that it would not be remiss to call Apgujeong the surgery capital of South Korea, the surgery capital of the world.
Men Of Plastic is available on VOD/digital from June 6th
This area, sometime in the 2000s, is the playground of Kang Dae-guk. A native of the neighbourhood, Kang is well-known there, a hyung to all the men and an oppa to all the women who live or work there. Nobody knows exactly what business he does, but everyone knows him as a fixer of any issues and a solver of problems.
