Attack on the Pin-Up Boys (Kmovie)

Synopsis

Super Junior comes to the big screen with the summer high school suspense comedy Attack on the Pin-Up Boys! The first film produced by S.M. Entertainment subsidiary S.M. Pictures, this hilariously over-the-top teen flick directed by Lee Kwon features all the members of Super Junior, minus Kyu Hyun (still in recovery) and plus a giant panda (plump and healthy). Choi Si Won (Battle of Wits), Kim Hee Chul (Golden Bride), Kang In, Kim Ki Bum (Snow Flower), and Lee Dong Hae lead the cast, while the other seven members take supporting roles. Most of the characters were written to fit in with their personalities, and the members use their own names in the film. The story stays fast-paced and energetic with manga-inspired visuals and mischievous humor, underlined by a bouncy soundtrack. Cheekily poking fun at idol culture and the group’s own pretty boy image, Attack on the Pin-Up Boys makes for a guaranteed fun time at the movies.
Seoul has been struck by a series of mean-spirited attacks targeting high school heartthrobs, with rocker Ye Sung and basketball player Han Kyung among the victims. Word is the next victim will be at Neulparan High School, and the three most likely candidates are steely student body president Si Won, dance club president Hee Chul, and judo team captain Kang In. Studious, bespectacled Ki Bum and photographer buddy Dong Hae decide to investigate. Rather than searching for the culprit, however, they’re a lot more interested in finding the next target. Meanwhile, the three potential victims are also competing against each other for top pin-up boy status and the fame that comes with it.
