The Korean film 'Hear Me: Our Summer' will be released in Japan on September 26, 2025, showcasing a unique love story involving communication.

The Korean film 'Hear Me: Our Summer', which beautifully depicts the sparkling moments of youth, where the excitement of love and even the confusion of life shine brightly alongside beautiful summer days, will be released in Japan under the title '君の声を聴かせて' on September 26, 2025. The Taiwanese film '聴説', produced in 2009 and recorded as the number one domestic box office hit that year, has been remade in Korea 14 years later. '君の声を聴かせて' was specially premiered last year at the Busan International Film Festival as part of the 'Korean Cinema Today' section and received enthusiastic support from audiences, achieving the number one spot in audience attendance upon its general release and the top box office performance in its release month. With the Japanese release approaching, stills from the film have been released! The released stills capture the protagonist Yongjun, played by Hong Kyung. Despite his boyish appearance, his acting, which changes dramatically with his expressions, is captivating. In this film, he shows a charming smile as he falls in love with Yeolmu, while also displaying a manly expression when he takes her on a scooter, and a somewhat troubled expression while walking alone in the city, lost in thought. The changing expressions of Hong Kyung in each scene are one of the highlights of this film. The protagonist Yongjun is played by the uniquely talented young actor Hong Kyung, known for his presence in popular dramas and films such as 'Weak Hero Class 1', 'D.P. - Deserter Pursuit Officer -', and 'Evil'. The other protagonist, Yeolmu, who Yongjun falls in love with, is portrayed by No Yoon Seo, who has garnered attention for her outstanding transparency and acting skills in works like 'Ilta Scandal - Love is a Training Course' and 'Our Blues'. She won the Best New Actor award in the film category at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, competing among promising candidates. Yeolmu's sister, Gaul, is played by Kim Minju, a former member of 'IZ*ONE', who has made her commercial film debut and is currently one of the most watched young actors in Korea. The film's unique approach to communication, which differs from typical love stories, is another key aspect that has garnered attention. In this film featuring characters with hearing disabilities, most conversations are conducted in sign language, significantly reducing spoken lines. The delicate story conveys that what connects them is not 'words' but 'hearts', providing a profound emotional experience that transcends the boundaries of a mere love story. Hong Kyung, who has appeared in must-see works for Korean drama fans, recently walked the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival for the world premiere of the Netflix film 'Good News', where he stars alongside Sol Kyung-gu and Japanese actors such as Takayuki Yamada, Kippei Shiina, and Masaki Kasamatsu. '君の声を聴かせて' is a youth film depicting Hong Kyung's long-awaited 'first love'. Don't miss this film when it hits screens this week! Release Information: '君の声を聴かせて' will be released nationwide from September 26 (Friday) at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya and other locations. STORY: Yongjun (Hong Kyung), who graduated from university but cannot find what he wants to do and is not motivated to get a job, reluctantly helps with deliveries at his parents' bento shop. He meets Yeolmu (No Yoon Seo), who communicates using sign language at the pool where he delivers, and falls in love at first sight. Yongjun, using the sign language he learned in college, tries to get closer to Yeolmu, but she is busy every day pursuing her dream of competing in the Olympics for her sister Gaul (Kim Minju), who is part of a swimming group for the hearing impaired.
