“This film is my love letter to K-pop – its energy, passion, magic and the incredible community behind it,” Lee previously said in statement. Lee’s untitled film, set in the world of K-pop music survival shows, is expected to be the first major American studio film shot entirely in South Korea. “The film centers around a young Korean-American woman, who defies her family’s wishes to compete in a televised competition to find the next K-pop girl group,” the logline reads.
Hybe America’s president of film and TV James Shin is producing the film alongside Arthur Spector and Joshua Davis of Epic Magazine and Scooter Braun. Executive producers include Joshuah Bearman of Epic Magazine, John Zaozirny and Scott Manson. Paramount’s Bryan Oh will oversee production on behalf of the studio.
Hybe America is the U.S. branch of K-pop giant Hybe, which acts as the parent companies to several labels that house massive acts including BTS, Seventeen, Le Sserafim and Enhypen.
Yoo is represented by MS Team Entertainment. Revolori is represented by Verve and Circle Management and Production. Kim is represented by IAG, Venture and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson and Christopher.
