Jeno and Jaemin’s refreshing on-screen chemistry The main poster for 〈Wind Up: The Movie〉, unveiled alongside the release news, puts the baseball dugout in the background beneath a blue sky. It shows the protagonists wearing uniforms, delivering the distinct feel of a sports coming-of-age drama. In the film, Jeno plays “Woojin,” a middle-school MVP who has fallen into trauma, while Jaemin plays “Tahee,” a transfer student who suddenly appears one day and declares himself Woojin’s manager. As the poster copy suggests—“The dream that once wavered has found its place”—the two characters will portray a story of mutual trust and reliance as they move toward their dreams.

Confident production team and a sports coming-of-age tale of boys A high school baseball pitcher who can’t throw strikes, and a transfer student who insists he is his manager—this sports coming-of-age drama 〈Wind Up: The Movie〉 captures the boys’ sparkling, pure friendship. It is directed by Kim Seong-ho of 〈Move to Heaven: I Am a Remover of Remains〉 and 〈Jin Geom Seung Bu〉. Jeno plays Woojin, and Jaemin plays Tahee.
