The movie 'Hijacking' is set to be released on June 21, Kidari Studio announced on the 13th.

'Hijacking' depicts the story of a passenger plane being hijacked in the skies over South Korea in 1971. Actor Ha Jung-woo plays the role of a former Air Force co-pilot of the passenger plane. He was a promising Air Force fighter pilot with excellent flying skills and, two years prior, during an aerial training exercise, he received orders to shoot down a passenger plane attempting a defection to the North. Suspecting a hijacking, he refused the order and was forcibly discharged. Afterwards, he becomes a co-pilot for a civilian airline but remains haunted by doubts about the choice he made at that time.

Ha Jung-woo said, "The conflicts and psychological portrayal that Tae-in experiences are well depicted. I thought carefully about how to express more convincing emotions within the given circumstances." Director Kim Seong-han said, "Ha Jung-woo carefully expressed detailed emotions through his eyes."
