Upcoming film revives retro TV show

Kim In-kwon
The movie garnered public attention as comedian Lee Kyung-kyu has invested in it.
“It is a movie about getting your dream back,” said Lee according to a local media report. “I wanted to bring sympathetic stories to the audiences.”
The longest-ever Sunday TV program in Korea has had numerous contestants singing on stage, sharing some touching and moving stories. The movie is composed of recreated anecdotes given by each and every contestant.
Comedian and actor Kim In-kwon of “Gwanghae, The Man Who Became King” and “Tower” last year plays the leading role of a contestant named Bong-nam.
