The highly anticipated mystery thriller You Will Die in 6 Hours, featuring NCT’s Jaehyun in his big-screen debut, will be available on TVING starting January 16. The film, which garnered critical acclaim at the 2024 Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN), won both the Best Actor Award (Park Ju-hyun) and the Audience Award, solidifying its reputation as a standout production.
Based on the novel of the same name by Japanese mystery writer Kazuki Takano, the story follows Jung-yoon (Park Ju-hyun), who learns from Jun-woo (Jaehyun), a man who can predict deaths, that she has only six hours to live. Determined to rewrite her fate, Jung-yoon embarks on a gripping search to uncover the killer.
Released in theaters in October 2024, the film wowed audiences with its compelling performances from Park Ju-hyun, Jaehyun, and Kwak Si-yang, whose dynamic chemistry elevated the suspenseful narrative. Jaehyun, already known for his acting debut in Dear M, showcases remarkable potential in his first feature film. His presence left a lasting impression, positioning him as a rising star in cinema.
At BIFAN, the film gained attention when Park Ju-hyun received the Korean Fantastic Actor Award, further amplifying its prestige. Domestically, the film ranked No. 1 in ticket pre-sales for independent and art films, and internationally, it achieved the remarkable feat of being sold to 76 countries.
Audience reactions highlight the film’s success:
As Jaehyun currently serves in the military, set to be discharged on May 3, 2026, his performance in You Will Die in 6 Hours continues to garner admiration, proving his versatility as both an idol and an actor.
