Ha Jung Woo’s “The People Upstairs” Teases Tension-Fueled Dinner And A Provocative Turning Point
New stills from director-actor Ha Jung Woo’s upcoming film “The People Upstairs” spotlight a razor-edged dinner between neighbors that spirals into candid, boundary-testing territory. The film pairs the upstairs couple—Mr. Kim (Ha Jung Woo) and Soo Kyung (Lee Ha Nee)—with the downstairs pair—Jung Ah (Kong Hyo Jin) and Hyun Soo (Kim Dong Wook)—after a string of nightly noise disputes forces an uneasy truce at the table.
What begins as polite small talk quickly tilts when Mr. Kim floats a bold, provocative suggestion, cracking open hidden desires and unspoken frustrations. The stills capture the micro-shifts in power and curiosity between the four, amplifying the film’s intimate, theatrical tension.
Hyun Soo looks visibly unsettled, while Jung Ah’s guarded interest begins to surface. Soo Kyung, caught between caution and intrigue, signals a frank exploration of modern relationships and the fragile lines couples draw—until they don’t.
“The People Upstairs” opens in theaters across Korea on December 3.
