'The Fake Band': Grand Harmony to Resonate This Winter, Main Trailer Released!

A grand harmony is set to echo through theaters this winter. The movie 'The Fake Band' (Director: Kim Hyung-hyub), slated for a December release, unveiled its main trailer on the 12th at noon via CGV's official Instagram, showcasing its stirring emotions and overwhelming scale.

'The Fake Band' tells the story of a 'fake praise band' formed for the purpose of earning foreign currency in North Korea.

The newly released main trailer opens with the line, "It's 200 million dollars." The absurd mission unfolds as they must hold a 'fake revival meeting' under the watchful eyes of an international Christian federation audit team to receive support from an international NGO, instantly captivating the audience.

Sweeping scenes filmed on a grand scale across the vast Mongolian and Hungarian landscapes vividly convey the film's immense scope, hinting at the arduous journey the characters will face. The escalating tension is palpable through the confrontation between 'Park Gyo-soon' (played by Park Si-hoo), who is tasked with leading the 'fake band' amidst pressure from superiors demanding, "Imitation isn't enough, make it real," and 'Captain Kim' (played by Jung Jin-woon), who keenly monitors them, declaring, "A counter-revolutionary is here."

Towards the end of the trailer, with the narration, "Everything was fake, but...", the journey of the 'fake performance,' initially started for survival, gradually transforms into a heartfelt resonance. The performance scenes, accompanied by the line, "It feels like this stuffy heart is bursting open," create a climax of profound emotion, perfectly complemented by the main tagline: "Their sincerity moved the world."

The film is directed by Kim Hyung-hyub, known for delivering heartwarming laughter and touching emotions in 'Father is a Daughter.' Despite the ironic premise of a '$200 million fake mission,' he masterfully weaves in his signature humanism and warmth, creating a touching drama that balances laughter and tears.

Joining the cast are actors who add credibility with their very names: Park Si-hoo, returning to the big screen after 10 years, and Jung Jin-woon, hinting at a powerful transformation, alongside Tae Hang-ho, Moon Kyung-min, Jang Ji-geon, Seo Dong-won, and Choi Sun-ja, forming an unpredictable harmony. Their ensemble of laughter and emotion is expected to deeply touch audiences this winter.

Netizens are expressing excitement, commenting, "Park Si-hoo is back after so long!", "Looking forward to Jung Jin-woon's character transformation", and "The trailer alone is touching, I wonder how emotional the movie will be?"
