Prepare for turbulence as Ha Jung Woo and Yeo Jin Goo find themselves locked in a high-altitude battle aboard an airplane in the gripping film “Hijacking.”

Set against the backdrop of 1971, this heart-pounding drama unfolds as a commercial airliner hurtles toward danger over South Korea.

Ha Jung Woo, portraying the resolute co-pilot, fights to shield the passengers from impending peril. Meanwhile, Yeo Jin Goo, in his debut villainous role, masterminds a chilling hijacking plot, steering the aircraft toward North Korea. The stakes are sky-high, and the tension is palpable.

Recently, the film’s press conference took flight at CGV Yongsan I’Park in Seoul. Director Kim Sung Han and a star-studded ensemble, including Sung Dong Il and Chae Soo Bin, gathered to discuss this cinematic thriller. Based on a true event, “Hijacking” marks Kim’s directorial debut—a passion project fueled by a haunting tale he encountered during his tenure as an assistant director.

Ha Jung Woo revealed the grueling demands of his role, navigating the treacherous skies both physically and emotionally. For Yeo Jin Goo, embodying a multifaceted antagonist was an exhilarating challenge. His portrayal avoids clichés, delving into the raw psyche of the hijacker without romanticizing the darkness.

The ensemble cast, comprising approximately 60 actors, amplifies the film’s authenticity. Sung Dong Il, a seasoned performer, praised the camaraderie that blossomed amidst the claustrophobic confines of the set. Director Kim’s meticulous attention to period accuracy, including recreating a discontinued airplane model, elevates the film’s realism.

“Hijacking” is poised for liftoff on June 21, promising a gripping exploration of a pivotal moment in Korean aviation history. Buckle up, fasten your seatbelts, and prepare for an adrenaline-fueled journey where every decision counts.
