Thriller Movie Time to Hunt with Lee Je Hoon and Choi Woo Shik to Air on Netflix After Delays and Legal Wrangling

I think everyone who has a Netflix subscription these past few months have more than made up the cost of it, and perhaps it’s time to add other streaming subscriptions like Disney+ and Hulu to the roster what with standard movie going experiences likely permanently altered even after coming back from COVID-19. K-thriller movie Time to Hunt with Choi Woo Shik, Lee Je Hoon, Park Jung Min, Ahn Jae Hong, and Park Hae Soo was supposed to air in the middle of February but was delayed when COVID-19 social distancing rules closed all movie theaters. Then it got mired in a lawsuit when the theater distribution company sued to the production company to keep it from streaming on Netflix in April. The courts sided with the distribution company and put an injunction on but now both sides have settled (likely with a cut of Netflix streaming fees going to the distribution company) and the movie is expected to stream on Netflix in the coming months.

  • Like both actors, so can't wait. Loved choi woo shik in both train to busan and parasite But i wonder will he got to army service as well?

    • Choi Woo Shik is Korean-Canadian, if he has Canadian citizenship then he doesn't have to serve.

      • Oh thanks for this. Good for his career. Strike the iron when it is hot especially now when he has global fame

      • I'm not sure if he actually is a Canadian citizen but since he lived there for years as a child, he probably does.

        Anyway he's 90liner, if he was a Korean citizen and hasn't served then his deadline to enlist would have been last year. Since he's still working, I guess military service is not an issue for him.

      • For Dual Citizens
        For dual citizens, or those with multiple citizenships, male South Koreans must choose their citizenship by the time they turn 18, before March 31 of that year. If these males choose to revoke their South Korean citizenship, they will not be required to complete their mandatory military service. However, if they fail to choose their citizenship by their 18th year, they will be subjected to fulfill their mandatory military service.[34] If males choose to renounce their citizenship by their 18th year, they are ineligible to gain a Korean work visa (F series) until after they turn 40 years of age. It may still be possible to gain an E series visa.

        As far as I know there's some who Korean with dual citizenship who still decided to Serve in the Military Like Yeon Jung Hoon, Ok Taecyeon

  • btw Koala, you should correct the post title to spell Lee Je Hoon's name correctly. Lee Ji Hoon is another actor, totally different person.

  • Also COVID-19 causing all these closures makes me really sad. Yes it's a necessary move to limit exposure and save lives, but the thought of movies unable to make it into theatres still makes me sad.

    • Frankly i hope we all get over this soon. Economic crises will be even worse, and even after few moths, theatres open, i doubt people will go bcoz atleast i am not going till full vaccination comes out and parents wont allow teens to go either. One bad move and whole family at risk

      • Any kind of public gathering like concerts or theatres won't be possible for a long time. People are not going to feel safe going out anytime soon this year but you still have idiots in many countries breaking lockdown rules.

        I read they are now about to begin human trials for a vaccine so there is some hope. But if lockdown isn't observed this time, we'll just end up with more deaths and more lockdown/more damage to the economy.

      • Religious nutjobs ruined my country. It eas under countrol but the gathering of thousand spread it all over the country. Lockdown is observes but people still break it time to time.FIRs are registered with jail time for few years but people still break the law
        I hope vaccine works royal. My bro is suffering big loss already and it breaks my heart bcoz i dont see anytime recovering soon. But we can only pray n stay strong, though it is easier said than done

      • I'm sorry to hear that, it must be really frustrating. People really should be more responsible. Are you from Malaysia btw? Because I heard a big cluster came from religious gatherings there, and they had a real problem. (what does FIR mean, they charge you for breaking lockdown?)

        I think vaccine trials are due to happen in the UK, US and Germany? But even trials don't mean we get a speedy vaccine, these things take time. Just hoping we all survive this.

      • @royal i am from india. where r u from and how is it in ur country
        though govt has handled it better than west but people r irresponsible and same religion gathering happened here as well like malaysia and many other asian countries because they think their religion gonna save them. And a spike is expected next month in may where cases will be in six figures. so it sucks right now even here. Fir is police complaint that you will get arrested when it is filed.
        Worlld keep building nuke weapons but cant build a medicine and lack of ventilators everywhere. The thing is even worse than world war right now bcoz it cant be controlled . Even hiv seems better virus right now bcoz atleast it couldnt spread like this

      • India and yes same gathering happened many parts of asia by specific set of people who believe their god will save from this by gathering together. What about ur country? Fir is police complaint where people will definitely get arrested,
        Hope they become successful to be honest. ANything is better than nothing. world was busy building nukes but never cared enough to provide better medical facilities, ventilators etc
