The new film Day Without a Hand, starring actors Byun Yo-han, Ahn Jae-hong, and Ha Yoon-kyung, has officially begun production.
Day Without a Hand tells the story of what happens over the course of a single day. Woo-jin, who is about to move into a new house on the most auspicious day, encounters a shaman named Tae-ju after his wife, Hee-yeon, begins to show strange symptoms and is told she must undergo a ritual to receive a spirit.
Byun Yo-han takes on the role of Tae-ju, a talented shaman and disciple of a high priest, anchoring the film with his intense presence. Having showcased overwhelming acting skills in every project, including Pavane, Following, and Hansan: Rising Dragon, Byun is set to captivate audiences with his irreplaceable energy as the shaman who appears before Woo-jin and Hee-yeon.
Ahn Jae-hong, who has proven his presence and character-portrayal skills through High Five, the series Mask Girl, and a special appearance in the film The King's Warden, stars as Woo-jin. Woo-jin is a lawyer who only believes what he can see, a man who clings to reason and logic even amidst unexplainable phenomena. Ahn is expected to take charge of the film's immersion by bringing this character to life with his solid expressive abilities.
In particular, there is high anticipation for the fresh acting synergy between Byun Yo-han and Ahn Jae-hong, who are working together for the first time, and the new sides of themselves they will reveal.
Ha Yoon-kyung, who has drawn empathy through her delicate performances in films like Concerning My Daughter and dramas such as Undercover High School and Extraordinary Attorney Woo, plays Woo-jin's wife, Hee-yeon. Hee-yeon is a character who gets pulled into the center of a mystery after experiencing bizarre phenomena, and Ha is expected to convincingly portray the character's anxiety and confusion.
The film is directed by Heo Jung, who has delicately depicted the tension that begins from cracks in everyday life through films like Hide and Seek and Hideout. Attention is focused on what new suspense and immersion director Heo, who has been praised by critics and audiences alike for his excellent sense for genre films, will present in this project.
Day Without a Hand is the main investment and distribution film for CGV Pictures, a company newly established by CGV as it entered the investment and distribution business in 2025. CGV Pictures, which announced its fresh start as an investment and distribution brand, is preparing for the release of its first main investment and distribution film, Okay Madam 2, in the second half of this year. The company plans to lead the content market by strengthening its own content planning, investment, and distribution.
Day Without a Hand began filming on June 14 and is currently in full-scale production.
