Viral crossover alert: NCT members Jeno and Jaemin are taking the big screen by storm as their films meet audiences at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN).
On June 10, KITZ — a global K-pop short-form platform — announced that its original films Wind-up: The Movie and After-School Exorcism Club: Girls' Night have been officially invited to the 30th BIFAN as part of the 'Platform Showcase: Short-Form Cinema' program.
Wind-up: The Movie, starring NCT’s Jeno and Jaemin, is a coming-of-age sports drama about a high school baseball pitcher who can’t throw a strike and a transfer student who becomes his manager — and his closest ally. The original short-form series drew about 30,000,000 views across social media channels and the KITZ app, turning heads industry-wide. The film opens on July 2.
Starring FIFTY FIFTY, After-School Exorcism Club: Girls' Night will also greet BIFAN audiences. The teen occult comedy follows a squad of five high school girls who band together to banish earthbound spirits haunting their school. Adapted from its short-form origins, the project ties into FIFTY FIFTY’s fourth mini-album universe and adds animated elements for an even richer story. The film hits theaters on June 25.
K-pop fans are buzzing, reacting with comments like "NCT lands at BIFAN" and "So much to watch this summer."
