The action drama ‘Breakthrough’, which has been invited to major overseas film festivals since the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, has decided to open on April 30th, one day earlier than its original release date.

According to distributor NEW on the 1st, ‘Breakthrough’, which has established itself as a global hit after being officially invited to the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival and the Beijing International Film Festival following the Berlin International Film Festival, has reached its peak of anticipation among domestic audiences. However, it has decided to open on April 30th, not May 1st as originally announced.

In particular, April 30th is expected to be a cultural day, and many audiences are expected to head to the theaters, which is expected to be followed by the Golden Week in May, which is expected to bring a lot of energy to the theaters.

Meanwhile, ‘Breakthrough’ is about an organization that deals with cockroach-like humans. This is an action movie depicting the intense confrontation between Jo-gak (Lee Hye-young), a legendary killer who has been active for 40 years, and the mysterious killer Tou-woo (Kim Sung-chul) who has been chasing her all his life. It is expected to be a work that combines the delicate directing of director Min Kyu-dong and the passionate performances of actors who are described as having perfect synchronization.
