- **Event Description**: A delivery courier is driven to the edge of sanity by his demanding schedule and messy family dynamics in this harrowing dramaAbout this EventSouth Korea | Drama | 2025 | 106 minutes   In Korean w/ English Subtitles  Director: Roh Young-wan Screenwriters: Roh Young-wan, Kim Eun-na Starring: Choi Gang-hyun, Lee Jae-yong, Kim Han Film Source: Helicon Studio Co., Ltd.While dreaming of becoming a filmmaker, Min-joon divides his time between delivering packages and picking up after his dysfunctional family’s mess. When an astrologer advises him to “follow his halo,” Min-joon pushes himself with extra shifts until he reaches a breaking point. In the age of internet shopping, we demand convenience at all costs without considering the lives of those who deliver it to us. Roh Young-wan’s empathetic but harrowing drama – winner of the Asian Future award at the Tokyo International Film Festival - imagines the life of one such courier. Shot in claustrophobic tight shots, Roh puts viewers as close to reality – and star Choi Gang-hyun’s engrossing performance - as possible.  SPECIAL GUESTS: Intro and Q&A with director Roh Young-wan and actor Choi Gang-hyun Choi Gang-hyun will receive the BRIGHT STAR AWARD before feature presentation IMPORTANT TICKET INFORMATIONAll ticket sales are final and non-refundable, so please double-check your plans before purchasing.Programs and schedules are subject to change.Stay in the loop with the latest screening updates by subscribing to our weekly newsletter at asianpopupcinema.org/subscribe.Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.

Since 2015, he has been deeply involved in projects that confront historical trauma—most notably as head of planning and production on Spirits’ Homecoming and A long way around, both dealing with the unresolved legacy of the Japanese military sexual slavery system. Spirits’ Homecoming remains one of the most successful crowdfunded films in Korean cinema, embodying the power of collective memory and solidarity. Roh later participated in The Singer, an ambitious attempt at North-South Korean co-production. Though the collaboration remained incomplete, the effort itself raised essential questions about the role of art in cultural reconciliation and healing on a divided peninsula. In 2025, Roh made his directorial debut with the feature film Halo, which won the Best Film Award in the Asian Future section at the 38th Tokyo International Film Festival. Guided by the philosophy that “technique should remain simple, while story and emotion must run deep,” he embraces a minimalist, raw realism in both style and spirit. Halo tells the story of a young man burdened by a forgotten family legacy, navigating a broken household and an indifferent society in search of faint light. Through this quiet journey, Roh offers a sharp yet tender lens on how the shadows of history continue to fracture the present.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/abecf210-1070-11f1-8489-bfa57dd9257e-rimg-w494-h740-dcc4c0ce-gmir.jpg Choi Gang-hyun, Actorhttps://vimeo.com/1165194963?fl=pl&fe=ti
