Director Jang Hang-jun's Previous Work 'Rebound' Re-releases on April 3!

Recently, director Jang Hang-jun, who has joined the ranks of ten million directors with 〈The King’s Affection〉, has chosen the film 〈Rebound〉 as his most cherished work in his filmography, which will be re-released on April 3. To celebrate its 3rd anniversary, this film is returning to the screen, unveiling a poster that captures the vibrant energy of youth, raising audience expectations.

The Miracle of the Weakest Team Over Eight Days That No One Noticed

The film 〈Rebound〉 is based on the true story of the weakest basketball team, Busan Jungang High School, which went unnoticed during the 2012 National High School Basketball Championship. The journey of the new coach and just six players, who ran tirelessly for eight days without any substitutes, delivers a passionate spirit of perseverance and the exhilarating catharsis unique to sports films.

Like the title and message of the film 'Rebound', director Jang Hang-jun has also proven a perfect 'rebound' as a successful director through 〈The King’s Affection〉, making the significance of this re-release even more special.

The Perfect Chemistry of Ahn Jae-hong and Rookiez… Legendary Reviews with Ratings in the 9s

Upon its release, 〈Rebound〉 received great love for the refreshing harmony of Ahn Jae-hong, who played a coach full of sincerity towards basketball, and Rookiez (Lee Shin-young, Jung Jin-woon, Kim Taek, Jung Geon-joo, Kim Min, Ahn Ji-ho), who get back up after falling.

With a CGV Golden Egg Index of 98% and a score of 9.5 from Lotte Cinema, it received overwhelming praise from actual viewers and was recognized internationally for its artistic value by winning the Silver Mulberry Award at the 25th Udine Far East Film Festival. The sweat of the actors, who trained without doubles and infused authenticity into their performances, is expected to heat up the theaters once again.

Filled with the Freshness of Spring… “For All Youths Who Don’t Give Up”

The unique humor of director Jang Hang-jun, combined with the solid script co-written by Kim Eun-hee and Kwon Seong-hwi, suggests that 〈Rebound〉 will provide warm comfort and encouragement to audiences living through their weary daily lives this spring.

The film 〈Rebound〉, capturing the miraculous moment of picking up the ball and standing up again, will be re-released in theaters nationwide on April 3 (Friday).
