The movie ‘Match’, which had been delayed for a long time due to the drug use allegations against its lead actor Yoo Ah-in, has finally confirmed its theater release on March 26.

‘Match’ is the story of South Korea‘s greatest Go legend Cho Hun-hyun (Lee Byung-hun), who, after losing to his disciple Lee Chang-ho (Yoo Ah-in), challenges himself to become the best again with his innate competitive spirit.

In the released poster, you can see South Korea’s all-time acting legend Lee Byung-hun‘s perfect transformation into South Korea’s greatest Go legend Cho Hun-hyun. In addition, the poster alone captures Cho Hun-hyun‘s competitive spirit.

However, Yoo Ah-in, who starred in the two-top duo, has completely disappeared from the poster.

Meanwhile, ‘Match’ was directed by Kim Hyung-joo of ‘Sheriff’, and was produced by Sawolgwang Films, which produced ‘The Spy Gone North’, ‘A Foreign Prosecutor’.
