'Yeon Ye-gye (CEO)' Runner Sean's most intense and passionate year unfolds on the screen.

The documentary film 'Shell We Run,' which explores the meaning of life through the journey of completing the world's seven major marathons, has confirmed its exclusive theatrical release at Megabox on October 16 and unveiled its main poster.

'Shell We Run' is a work that records, from the closest perspective, Sean's journey over the course of one year in 2025 as he completed the world's seven major marathons and faced his own limits.

Sean ran a total of 295.365 kilometers across the world's seven major marathons, starting from Tokyo and continuing through Boston, London, Sydney, Berlin, Chicago, and New York. He challenged himself in the London Marathon just six days after completing the Boston Marathon, and completed the Sydney Marathon about two weeks after running 81.5 kilometers on Korea's Liberation Day. Even as injuries mounted—including a lost toenail and issues with his Achilles tendon—he pressed on toward his goal until the end.

'Shell We Run' expands beyond merely documenting this challenge as a completion record, extending it into the question: "Why do we run?" Through running alongside runners from around the world, encountering people along the way, battling oneself, and returning to the starting line again, the film illuminates what meaning running holds in life.

Sean shared his reflections: "I witnessed entire cities turning into festivals through marathons. Runners and supporters unite as one to create a small miracle called completion." He added, "I ran alongside people with their own stories—a 90-year-old grandfather, a pregnant woman at 32 weeks, a young man wearing a prosthetic leg, and even a father pushing his disabled child in a wheelchair. I felt overwhelmed with joy running with them. Running the world's seven major marathons made me love running even more."

For Sean, running also extended into sharing and action. To commemorate the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation, he donated a total of 295 million 365 thousand won (1,000 won per meter across the 295.365 kilometers of the seven marathons) to Korean Habitat. The donation will be used for a house-building project for descendants of independence activists.

Additionally, the participation of actor Park Bo-gum as narrator is expected to heighten anticipation. As a member of Sean's running crew "Unknown Crew," Park Bo-gum will personally introduce Sean's marathon journey, enhancing the film's immersion.

'Shell We Run' also draws attention as the feature film directorial debut of Kim Tae-hwan (CEO) Creative Mut (MUT). Director Kim, who has directed advertising and brand videos as well as media exhibitions, recently directed an exhibition celebrating BIGBANG's 20th anniversary. In this work, he co-directed with Director Jang Jae-ha, closely capturing Sean's challenge process. Director Kim Tae-hwan stated, "We focused not on the record itself, but on Sean's process of facing his limits and running again."

Meanwhile, 'Shell We Run' will have its exclusive theatrical release at Megabox on October 16.
