An extraordinary film is on its way — HI-FIVE turns the impossible into possible as it hits cinemas this May 30!
HI-FIVE, directed by Kang Hyoungchul and produced by Annapurna Films, has been ready for a while and is now all set for an exciting mid-2025 premiere, originally planned for 2021.
The star-studded cast includes Lee Jae-in, Ahn Jae-heong, Kim Hee-won, Ra Mi-ran, Oh Jung-se, Shin Gu, and GOT7’s Park Jinyoung. Originally, Yoo Ah-in was part of the cast, but following past controversies, he was removed from the movie’s promotion, which also led to the film’s unexpected delay.
The comic action film HI-FIVE combines comedy and science fiction, following a group of characters whose lives change after strange organ transplants of the heart, lung, cornea, kidney, liver, and pancreas. These transplants grant them supernatural powers, bringing them together as HI-FIVE.
