The wait is almost over for Korean cinema fans. Audition 109, one of the most anticipated Korean films of 2026, has dropped its official character posters — and they’re giving us all the feels before the movie even hits theaters on April 22, 2026.

Meet the Cast: Who’s Who in Audition 109?

Audition 109 is a sequel to Jung Woo’s beloved film Wish, following Jjanggu — a young man who leaves Busan for Seoul to chase his dream of becoming an actor, facing repeated rejection yet refusing to quit.

Here’s a quick breakdown of each character from the newly released posters:

Character	Actor	Vibe in the Poster
Jjanggu	Jung Woo	Calm, determined, cap pulled low — pure grit
Min Hee	Krystal	Distant, complex — pulling close yet drifting away
Jang Jae	Shin Seung Ho	Flustered but charming — Jjanggu’s loyal best friend
Joon Sang	Hyun Bong Sik	Polished suit, confident smirk — classic rival energy
Kkangnaengi	Jo Beom Gyu	Wide-eyed and wild — Seoul’s comedic culture shock
Soo Young	Kwon So Hyun	Steady and grounded — the film’s emotional anchor

Why These Posters Hit Differently

Every poster in this lineup feels intentional. Jung Woo’s unwavering gaze reflects the persistence of youth that keeps rising despite failure — something many of us quietly relate to. Krystal’s hard-to-read eyes and distant demeanor reveal layered emotions, caught between drawing closer and pulling away. That tension alone is enough to buy a ticket.

Shin Seung Ho’s momentary honesty contrasting with his usual bravado highlights his down-to-earth charm soompi, while Jo Beom Gyu fills the frame with wide, startled eyes and exaggerated expressions hinting at humorous situations while adapting to Seoul life.

This is a film about chasing dreams in an unforgiving city — a theme as universal as it gets. For more on the history of Korean cinema’s rise globally, check out the Korean Wave on Wikipedia.
