SEOUL, July 17 (Yonhap) -- Netflix announced on the 17th that the film 'Cross,' starring Hwang Jung-min and Yum Jung-ah, will be exclusively released on August 9.

 

Directed by Lee Myung-hoon in his feature film debut, 'Cross' follows former agent Kang Moo (played by Hwang Jung-min), who lives as a veteran housewife hiding her past, and her wife Mi-sun (played by Yum Jung-ah), an ace in the Major Crimes Investigation Unit, as they get entangled in a massive case.

 

Initially, Plus M Entertainment was set to distribute 'Cross,' with a theatrical release planned for the Lunar New Year holiday in February.

 

However, the release was postponed following the sudden passing of actor Jeon Hye-jin's husband, Lee Sun-kyun, in December last year. Jeon Hye-jin plays Hee-joo, Kang Moo's junior, in the film.

 

Despite considerations for a summer or Chuseok holiday release in theaters, the film ultimately chose a Netflix release.
