Yoo Ah-in headlines cast of Seoul Vibes, a heist/racing thriller that's just begun production
Netflix has just confirmed the production of Seoul Vibes and announced the cast, which includes Yoo Ah-in, Ko Kyoung-pyo, Lee Kyoo-hyung, Park Ju-hyun, Ong Seong-wu, Kim Sung-kyun, Jung Woong-in, and Moon So-ri.
The studio describes the South Korean movie as "an action blockbuster packed with thrills and adrenaline-fueled scenes". Seoul Vibes is set in 1988 Seoul during the Olympic Games:
The drivers of the Sanggye-dong Supreme Team become mired in the slush fund investigation of a powerful person on the very day of the 1988 Seoul Olympics opening ceremony. With all eyes of the world on Seoul with the pending Olympic Games, the chaos in the city provides opportune timing for moving illegal funds. The special operation to chase the money reels in baby drivers with amazing drifting skills.
From what we can tell, the movie combines the genres of heist and racing films – a team of talented drivers are tasked by the good guys to steal back laundered money from bad guys, who are using the cover of the Olympics to move their slush fund.
Director Moon Hyun-sung (As One, The King's Case Note) helms the production with creator-producers John Yoo and Kwon Oh-hyun.
No release date was announced. Seoul Vibes will be released only on Netflix.
