What Is My First Graduation About?
My First Graduation is a dangerous youth romance about high school student Chae Do Young (Chung Su Bin), who dreams of an end, as she enlists the help of psychopath transfer student Gu Do Ha (Kim Jae Won) to plan the perfect accidental death.
It’s bold, unconventional, and deeply layered — exactly the kind of story Korean cinema does best.

What the Stars Are Saying
The enthusiasm from the cast is genuinely infectious. Kim Jae Won shared: “I fell deeply into the charm of the project that I looked forward to filming from the moment I read the first page. I’m really happy to be a part of a project with a novel setting and charming characters.”
Chung Su Bin was equally captivated. She said: “It’s a synopsis I read in a heartbeat as soon as I got my hands on it because I was curious about the ending. I will do my best to convey the heart-fluttering excitement the project has.”
When both lead actors are this invested before filming even wraps, you know something special is being made.
Why My First Graduation Could Be a Game-Changer
Chung Su Bin will three-dimensionally portray a teenager who appears clumsy and bright on the outside but harbors very complicated feelings on the inside. This is the kind of nuanced, layered performance that film awards are made of.
The film will be helmed by director Kim Jin Hwa of Missing Yoon — a filmmaker known for delicate, emotionally resonant storytelling. With a strong ensemble and a gripping premise, this one has all the hallmarks of a Korean indie breakout hit.
Korean youth cinema has long explored complex emotional territory with incredible sensitivity — a tradition detailed further on the Korean cinema Wikipedia page, which traces the country’s powerful filmmaking legacy.
