JUNHO

Directed by David Seok Hoon Boo

Cast: Hanna Jun, Jae Hong Park, Wonjun Jo

Junho (Wonjun Jo) wanted nothing more than to be a great actor. But when his prestigious acting troupe in Korea is rocked by a #MeToo scandal, he escapes to San Francisco, to start a new life. Unlike Junho’s attempt to overcome loneliness, isolation and the loss of his best friend Jin, who was a victim of the scandal, his transgression from the past dislocates him from the present.
