Following EXIT (2019) and OK! MADAM (2020), summer theaters in Korea are getting ready to welcome a new disaster comedy this month with Showbox’s Sinkhole. From disaster film specialist Kim Jihoon, who made the Gwangju Uprising saga May 18 (2007), the creature feature Sector 7 (2011) and inferno drama The Tower (2012), the film had its international premiere at the Locarno International Film Festival and was also invited by the Sarajevo International Film Festival and selected as the closing film of New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF). Sinkhole features a range of comedy stars in its cast, including Cha Seungwon (CHEER UP, MR. LEE, 2019), Kim Sungkyun  (The Sheriff in Town, 2017), and Lee Kwangsoo (The Accidental Detective 2: In Action, 2018)

Dongwon (Kim Sungkyun) has spent the last 11 years saving up to buy a home for his family, and now that he’s finally achieved his dream of inviting his co-workers over for a housewarming party. Disaster strikes when floodwaters create a sinkhole under them, swallowing the whole building and everyone in it. Stuck hundreds of meters underground, Dongwon, his co-workers and his nosy neighbor Man-su (Cha Seungwon) try to find a way out of their predicament, but with the sinkhole quickly filling up with water, they are running out of time.
