With its selection for the Panorama section of the 31st Busan International Film Festival, the film "Final Interview," featuring a cast of rising actors, is set to be released this November.

The film "Final Interview," which brings together top-tier actors Jo Yi-hyun, Kim Jae-won, Shin Seung-ho, Kang Yu-seok, Kwak Dong-yeon, and Bae Kang-hee, has confirmed its November release and unveiled its first poster and first trailer on the 9th.

"Final Interview" is a story in which six applicants gathered at the final interview site discover mysterious envelopes containing their respective exposés, leading them to suspect one another and descend into chaos. Only six applicants made it through the final interview out of a competition ratio of 5,000:1. In "Final Interview," with a two-hour time limit and five public votes, only one candidate must be selected as the sole successful applicant. The appearance of an unidentifiable exposé envelope sets off a mystery drama where nothing can be predicted.

Director Kim Jeong-hoon, known for his genre-blending direction in "Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure," "Detective K: Secret of the Lost Island," and "A Shy Romance," takes the helm. Rising stars Jo Yi-hyun, Kim Jae-won, Shin Seung-ho, Kang Yu-seok, Kwak Dong-yeon, and Bae Kang-hee, currently considered blue-chip talents in Korean cinema, unite as the six applicants for "Final Interview." The film features six individuals with distinct personalities and secrets: Moon Hye-in (played by Jo Yi-hyun), an observer who calmly assesses situations; Han Jin-woo (Kim Jae-won), an idealist who approaches the world with an open heart; Baek Seung-bin (Shin Seung-ho), a pragmatic leader forged through physical discipline; Lee Hee-chan (Kang Yu-seok), a natural mediator with grace; Jeon Yo-han (Kwak Dong-yeon), a strategist whose true intentions remain hidden; and Cha Ju-won (Bae Kang-hee), a perfectionist with flawless credentials. Anticipation builds for the fresh combination and tense ensemble created by these six characters, each harboring different choices and secrets.

The released first poster captures the six applicants gathered around a table with a timer, immediately drawing attention. Though seated closely together, their stern expressions and wary glances fixed forward hint at the moment when colleagues who once boasted perfect teamwork become rivals competing for a single successful position. Adding to this are bold taglines such as "Perfect credentials, worst exposé" and "Everyone is lying," sparking curiosity about the secrets they conceal and the unpredictable exposés that will unfold during the interview session.

The accompanying first trailer begins with sound effects that heighten tension, focusing on each of the six applicants gathered at the final interview site one by one. An unexpected condition is then announced: "The time limit is two hours; please select only one final successful applicant." A rapidly decreasing timer further amplifies the tension. Although the applicants promise a fair selection, the atmosphere shifts dramatically the moment mysterious envelopes bearing the names of all six are discovered. As each envelope is opened, individual exposés follow in succession, suspicion mounts like a chain reaction, and the interview site spirals into uncontrollable chaos. Taglines such as "5,000:1 competition ratio," "Six applicants," "One successful candidate," and "Worst exposé" are layered together, foreshadowing unpredictable developments surrounding the single successful position and pushing tension to its peak.

Meanwhile, "Final Interview" is scheduled for release this November.
