The Growing Pains of Two 'Young Hyun' with the Same Name, 'Our Name' Set to Release in November!

Between adolescence and young adulthood, the film 〈Our Name〉 depicts the weight of friendship and dreams felt by two 'Young Hyun' in their third year of technical high school, who share the same name amidst job competition. The film 〈Our Name〉 has confirmed its release in November and unveiled two teaser posters. The film portrays the growing pains of two 'Young Hyun' who had to jump into the job market instead of going to college, and it has confirmed its release in November while revealing two teaser posters. Director Lee Sang-rok, a promising talent from Chungmuro who showcased delicate directing skills through short films 〈The House of Ghosts〉, 〈On the Way Home〉, and 〈Ensemble〉, makes his feature debut with 〈Our Name〉, capturing the atmosphere and texture of a technical high school based on his autobiographical experience of graduating from a specialized high school. Additionally, to realistically portray the inner turmoil of characters caught between employment and friendship, new faces leading Chungmuro have been boldly cast, vividly expressing the real lives of nineteen-year-olds. This has garnered attention as a product of the energetic spirit created by newly discovered emerging directors and actors in the Korean independent film scene.

Jung Soon-beom, who has built a solid acting foundation by appearing in several anticipated independent films including 〈The Minimum Line〉, plays the transfer student 'Young Hyun B' and leads the narrative. Despite being his first leading role in a feature film, Jung Soon-beom captivates attention as a new face in the Korean film industry with his strong presence. Min Woo-seok, who realistically expresses the complex emotions of a high school student conflicted between friendship with 'Young Hyun B' and job hunting, takes on the role of 'Young Hyun A', adding tension to the film. Additionally, Kim Tae-hyun plays the role of 'Joo-wang', the mood maker who experiences social life first by going out for field training before his friends, while Lee Sang-ha, who gained attention for his realistic acting on the YouTube channel 'Unexpected Film', plays 'Jong-soo', completing the authentic chemistry of the four technical high school friends.

The two teaser posters released this time capture attention with the images of Young Hyun A and Young Hyun B trapped in a resume frame under the glow of sunset. The Young Hyun B poster conveys the inner turmoil of youth forced into reality, with his expression gazing beyond the photo and the copy, "Do you know me well? Don't speak carelessly." In contrast, the poster of Young Hyun A, who is deep in thought looking at the sky, adds the sentence, "I still don't have a dream, can you tell me a bit?" portraying the youth who remains in reality without finding their dream. Although the two posters face different directions, they foreshadow the narrative of the two characters who will wander between friendship and reality, leaving a subtle aftertaste. This poster was designed by Park Si-young of the shining studio, who has made a strong impression on audiences by sensibly capturing the film's emotions in works such as 〈The Master of the World〉 and 〈3670〉.
