The newly confirmed schedule concerns the pre-release premiere events. These events are scheduled to take place at several theaters in Seoul beginning September 12. The release-day schedule is reported to include Choi Min-sik, Han So-hee, Kim Jun-han, Ryu Hye-young, and director Kim Do-young.

Current Status

The film follows Sun-woo, a CEO who rose through the fashion industry, and Ki-ho, a silver intern with 37 years of professional experience, as they navigate workplace life. It has been introduced as a Korean remake of the 2015 Hollywood film of the same name, reflecting Korean sensibilities and changes in the times.

The release date has been confirmed as September 16, 2026, but the specific premiere-event showings and attendee information should be checked against announcements from each theater.

The theaters mentioned as release-day premiere-event venues are CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall, Megabox COEX, and Lotte Cinema World Tower. However, the detailed showtimes and attendees for each theater still need to be reconfirmed through the theaters’ websites or mobile apps and Warner Bros. Korea’s social media channels.

Impact

Audiences can plan their visits around the pre-release events beginning September 12 and the release-day events on September 16. However, the information currently confirmed covers only the broad event schedule and the theaters mentioned, so the following details should be checked again before attending:

  1. The website or mobile app of the theater you plan to visit
  2. Whether the selected screening includes a premiere event
  3. The actors and director scheduled to attend

Next Checkpoint

Audiences wishing to attend a premiere event should check each theater’s announcements and Warner Bros. Korea’s social media again before the event. The release date and schedule may change.
