The hit film ‘Harbin’, which will open in 2025, has confirmed and revealed the schedule of its relay GV, which will be attended by director Kim Sung-soo of ‘Spring in Seoul’, and others, raising audience expectations.

According to distributor CJ ENM on the 7th, ‘Harbin’ has confirmed its relay GV schedule, following the character behind-the-scenes talk that was its first GV, starring Hyun Bin, Jo Woo-jin, and Park Hoon. A cinematic GV will be held at 7:30 PM on the 8th at CGV Yongsan, and a Harbin X Seoul Special GV will be held at 7:30 PM on January 10th at CGV Yongsan.

Director of photography Hong Kyung-pyo, who captured the beautiful mise-en-scène and spectacular scenes of ‘Harbin’ on screen, will be joining the cinematic GV to share behind-the-scenes footage and filming know-how. The cinematic GV, hosted by Baek Eun-ha, director of the Actors‘ Lab, can be reserved through the CGV official website and APP.
Two days later on the 10th, the Harbin X Seoul Special GV will be held. Director Kim Sung-soo of the 2023 hit ‘Spring of Seoul’ will be providing support, drawing attention. In particular, Park Hoon, who played the role of Moon Il-pyeong in ‘Spring of Seoul’ and Mori Tatsuo in ‘Harbin’, will be participating to bring to life the story of the universe of modern and contemporary Korean history that connects the two films. The Harbin X Seoul Special GV will be hosted by Cineplay Editor-in-Chief Joo Sung-chul, and tickets can be purchased on the CGV official website and APP.

Meanwhile, ‘Harbin’ is based on Ahn Jung-geun’s Harbin Uprising, and depicts the breathtaking pursuit and suspicion between those who head to Harbin in 1909 with a single goal and those who pursue them.

Since its release, it has led to explosive word-of-mouth, not giving up the top spot at the box office even once in the 15 days since its release, and continues to lead the ticket sales rate in its third week of release.
