The VIP preview of the movie 'Shikatanai' has become a hot topic due to its luxurious guests. On the afternoon of the 22nd, at the CGV in Yongsan I-Park Mall, Yongsan District, Seoul, the VIP preview of the movie 'Shikatanai' was held, with many luxurious guests attending. Among them, particularly eye-catching were Lee Byung-hun's wife Lee Min-jung and Hyun Bin, Son Ye-jin's husband, who rushed to the venue to support their partners. Previously, at the '30th Busan International Film Festival' open talk, Lee Byung-hun revealed, 'This is the first time I am co-starring with Son Ye-jin as a couple. Usually, it takes time to get in sync, but Ye-jin is a long-time friend of my wife (Lee Min-jung), and we have a relationship where both couples play golf and dine together. Perhaps because of that, there was no awkwardness despite it being our first shoot. I felt like we could skip the process of understanding each other.' On this day, Im Si-wan, who changed his hairstyle to blonde, also drew attention. Other luxurious guests included BTS's RM & V, Park Jin-young (J.Y. Park), and Rain. The film depicts the story of Yu Mansu (Lee Byung-hun), a company employee who feels satisfied with life but suddenly gets fired and prepares for his own war to re-employ himself while trying to protect the home he worked hard to prepare for his wife and two children.
