"Dongzhu" depicts the life of the famous Korean poet Yoon Dong-joo and is the 11th work of director Lee Joon-yeol. The film tells the story of the youth of the poet Yin Dongzhu and his friend Song Mengkui, whose life came to an abrupt end at the age of 28 during the Japanese colonial period. The film will be released on February 18, 2016.
In public photos, Yoon Dong-joo (Kang Ha-na) sits by the window of a train from his hometown of Hokma Island to Beijing, while Song Mengkui (Park Jung-min) sleeps on his shoulder. In the colonial period when all dreams were suppressed, and even his own name and language were not allowed to be used, the young Yin Dongzhu dreamed of expressing his inner pain through poetry, and his eyes were full of pain, interpreting the desolation of the current young generation that had nowhere to release youth and dreams.
With works such as "The King's Man" and "Si Mourning", director Lee Joon-yee and "Yoon Dong-joo" Kang Ha-na, and friends "Song Mengkui" Park Jung-min will rub out what kind of sparks will be expected by the audience.
