The Moon, directed by Kim Yong-hwa, is a gripping, emotional, epic-action, and one of Korea’s most highly anticipated films of the year. It will open across the Philippines on AUGUST 16.

The film is directed by Kim Yong-hwa, one of the most prominent genre directors in Korean cinema. It stars veteran actor Sol Kyung Gu (Phantom, The Book of Fish, Man of Men, Birthday) and EXO member Doh Kyung Soo (Underdog, Swingkids, Along With The Gods series) as an astronaut stranded in space. The cast also includes award-winning actress Kim Hee Ae (The World of the Married).

In The Moon, Korea’s first manned mission to the moon ends in a tragic disaster when an explosion occurs on board. Seven years later, a second human spaceflight is launched successfully but a strong solar wind causes it to malfunction. One astronaut Sun-woo (DOH) is left stranded in space. Facing another fatal catastrophe, the Naro Space Center turns to its former managing director Dr. Kim (SOL) to help bring Sun-woo back home safely.

Opening in Philippine cinemas August 16, The Moon is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
