Byun Yohan and Esom to Star in Crime Film "Repercussion"... Filming Begins This Month

A Crime Drama Depicting a Succession Battle Over an Illegal Family Business
Kim Sunkyoung's Feature Directorial Debut Set for 2027 Release

On April 1, distributor By4M Studio announced that it will produce the film "Repercussion" (working title), aiming for release next year.

The story centers on the Ye-dong Kwon family, who have continued a dangerous illegal business for generations. The film deals with the upheaval that occurs over the selection of a new successor after the death of the family's eldest son.

Byun Yohan plays Park Kitae, who has handled odd jobs for the Kwon family since childhood. He is a character who leads the way to ensure that Kwon Doyoung, the eldest son, inherits the successor position in full.

Esom takes on the role of Kwon Sohyun, the eldest daughter who turned her back on the family's dangerous business and became independent in Seoul. After returning home for the first time in years, she quickly senses the family's atmosphere and finds herself at the center of the succession battle.

Kim Junhan joins the cast as Kwon Doyoung, the eldest son who should inherit the business after his father's death but is viewed with suspicion by the family's elders. Kim Jongsoo portrays Kwon Byungryul, the younger uncle who covets the successor position and threatens his nephews, heightening the tension in the drama.

The film will be directed by rookie director Kim Sunkyoung, who delves deeply into traditional patriarchal order and the power structure within the family. Production is handled by Star Platinum, the company behind the Netflix film "Good News." Filming is scheduled to begin this month.
