Netflix Debuts First Korean Original Animated Film 'Lost in Starlight' on May 30
Brought to life by Director Han Ji-won, a pioneering creator of Korean animated films, and voiced by actors Kim Tae-ri and Hong Kyung, Netflix's first-ever Korean original animated film, Lost in Starlight, premieres May 30. Set in 2050, Lost in Starlight tells the story of an astronaut dreaming of Mars and a musician with a broken dream who find each other among the stars, guided by their hopes and love for one another.
The newly unveiled teaser poster offers a glimpse of the animation, with mystical pink sunset hues enveloping Nan-young and Jay's budding romance. They gaze affectionately at each other, setting the stage for this love story that has traveled 225 million kilometers to melt our hearts. Set against a starry sky, the near-future version of Seoul in 2050 is strange yet familiar. Retro objects like a record player and vinyl albums add a cozy, nostalgic touch, building excitement for the unique retro-cyberpunk universe that Lost in Starlight will bring to life.
The teaser trailer opens with the fateful first meeting of Nan-young and Jay, accompanied by the film's evocative soundtrack. When Nan-young visits an audio equipment repair shop to fix an old record player her mom left behind, she runs into Jay, and a romance slowly blossoms. Director Bong Joon-ho describes the film as "This visual masterpiece takes you around the universe," fueling excitement for director Han Ji-won's intricate and fantastical visual storytelling.
Scenes of Nan-young and Jay enjoying adorable dates in different parts of 2050 Seoul - Sewoon Plaza, the submersible bridge, and more - are beautifully depicted on-screen through director Han Ji-won's masterful drawings, capturing the heart-fluttering emotions of new love. But as Nan-young leaves for Mars, she inevitably has to leave Jay behind. How will the two navigate their journey toward their dreams and love?
Actors Kim Tae-ri and Hong Kyung, known for their stellar performances across diverse productions, lend their voices to Nan-young and Jay respectively, infusing this touching love story with their heart and soul.
