The groundbreaking NO REGRET is a classic romance interwoven with a realistic depiction of class conflict and contemporary Korean gay life. The first true gay film from Korea, centers on Sumin (Lee Young-Hoon), a poor 18 year-old orphan who seeks his fortune in the bright lights of Seoul. After losing a series of jobs, he is forced to work as a prostitute in a gay karaoke bar. A wealthy and powerful industrialist, Jaemin, (Lee Han) falls passionately in love with the boy and seduces him. Their relationship soon begins to interfere with Jaemin’s pending nuptials and his promotion to a high-profile job at his father’s company. Vengeful after becoming ignored, Sumin sets off on a destructive course of action that brings the film to a powerful and emotional moment of truth. NO REGRET is as uplifting and bittersweet as it is compelling and surprising. Directed by the controversial and openly gay filmmaker Leesong Hee-il.
NO REGRET opens in Los Angeles and New York City July 25th.
