Recently, the cast of “Melo Movie” including Choi Woo Sik, Park Bo Young, Lee Jun Young, Jeon So Nee had a photo shoot with Elle Korea magazine and an interview to promote the movie.
“Melo Movie” delves into the lives of young people who pretended to be okay in the face of hardship. Now, they yearn to experience love and fulfill their dreams, but find themselves exhausted and tired from the constant hardships they endure.
The film is written by Lee Na Eun - the screenwriter of "Our Beloved Summer" - a work starring Choi Woo Sik, released in 2021. At the same time, the film is directed by Oh Choong Hwan, who has been in charge of "Big Mouth", "Start-Up", "Hotel Del Luna" and many other films.

In an interview with Elle, Choi Woo Sik shared a line that highlights the meaning of the film: "Young people who are vague about both love and dreams discover and inspire each other."
"If being young means resting when you need to, working hard when it's time, while still moving forward, then I think I'm still young," he said.
Meanwhile, Park Bo Young said about her character: "Moo Bi created a lot of thorns while trying to protect herself.
I think she is a figure who can encourage young people in similar situations, showing that we have the strength within to get out of the things that are tormenting us.”
