Rising Stars of Korean Cinema Team Up for Movie 'Final Interview', Set for Release in November

Published : Sep 9, 2026 4:48 PM


The film "Final Interview" is set to hit theaters this coming November.

"Final Interview" tells the story of six applicants gathered in a final job interview room who discover mysterious envelopes containing exposés about each other, plunging them into mutual suspicion and chaos. Out of an overwhelming competition rate of 5,000 to 1, only six applicants made it to the final round. With a time limit of two hours and five public votes to directly select just one successful candidate, the appearance of the anonymous exposé envelopes triggers an unpredictable mystery drama.

Director Kim Jung-hoon, who has captivated audiences with his genre-driven directing in "The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure," "The Detective: The Beginning," and "Petty Romance," takes the helm. He is joined by some of the most sought-after rising stars in Korean cinema—Cho Yi-hyun, Kim Jaewon, Shin Seungho, Kang You-seok, Kwak Dong-yeon, and Bae Gang-hee—who come together as the six applicants competing in the final interview.Final Interview Still (Photo: Getty Images Korea)Final Interview Still (Photo: Getty Images Korea)
Anticipation is high for the fresh chemistry and tight ensemble created by these six characters, each harboring different choices and secrets: Moon Hye-in (Cho Yi-hyun), a calm observer; Han Jin-woo (Kim Jaewon), an open-minded idealist; Baek Seung-bin (Shin Seungho), an action-oriented leader with grit built through athletics; Lee Hee-chan (Kang You-seok), a natural mediator equipped with composure; Jeon Yo-han (Kwak Dong-yeon), an inscrutable strategist; and Cha Joo-won (Bae Gang-hee), a perfectionist with flawless credentials.

Having also been invited to the Panorama section of the 31st Busan International Film Festival, the film "Final Interview" will officially open in theaters this November.
