Overview
- The director of Squid Game, Hwang Dong‑hyuk, announced the film K. O. Club on Thursday as his first theatrical feature in nearly a decade.
- Firstman Studio confirmed a principal cast that includes Lee Byung‑hun, Park Hae‑soo, Oh Jung‑se, Cho Yeo‑jeong and Kim So‑jin.
- Reports describe the premise as a near‑future world where the wealthy can buy biological youth and say K. O. Club is shorthand for “Killing Oldmen Club.”
- Firstman Studio says filming is targeted for the first half of 2027, and no distributor or platform has yet been named.
- Hwang’s global profile after Squid Game gives the project strong commercial and critical attention, and the provocative title may pose translation and marketing challenges for international release.
