On the 21st, the Walt Disney Company’s ‘Disney Content Showcase APAC 2024’ opened with grandeur at the Singapore Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Center. This event serves as a preview for theatrical releases and streaming content slated for 2025 and beyond, drawing anticipation from fans worldwide.
Korean content received notable attention at this event. After leaving a strong impression with hits like ‘Moving’ and ‘A Shop For Killers’, Korea is set to showcase works such as ‘Lighting Store’, ‘Trigger’, ‘Hyper Knife’, ‘Knock Off’, ‘Nine Puzzle’, ‘Polaris’, ‘Made in Korea’, ‘Torrent’, and ‘Fragmented City’ from the latter half of this year through the next.
In particular, the press conference for ‘Pine: Bumpkins’ garnered significant interest. Present at the conference were director Kang YoonSung and actors Ryu SeungRyong, Yang SeJong, and Lim SooJung, who heightened expectations for the work. ‘Pine’ is based on the webtoon of the same name by writer Yoon TaeHo, depicting the tale of earnest villains dreaming of striking it rich from a treasure ship buried under the sea in the 1970s.
Actor Ryu SeungRyong achieved great success with Disney’s hit ‘Moving’, and he collaborates once again with Disney, this time with director Kang YoonSung. He shared, “I enjoyed watching Director Kang’s ‘Casino’ immensely. Not knowing his contact, I sent a message on Facebook, which led to us working together on ‘Pine’.”
Director Kang YoonSung also expressed his affection for collaborating with Disney, stating, “After completing ‘Casino’, I met with senior Ryu SeungRyong. It felt like fate to work with Disney on the same project.” He emphasized the creative freedom in working with Disney, expressing high expectations for the upcoming project.
The release of ‘Pine: Bumpkins’ in 2025 is anticipated to open a new chapter for Disney and Korean content. Fans can look forward to updates on the synergy this collaboration with Disney will create.
