The upcoming crime film Project Y has released a new set of stills highlighting the intense partnership between Han So Hee and Jeon Jong Seo, offering a deeper look into their characters’ emotional connection and shared desperation.
Set in Seoul’s affluent Gangnam district, the film follows Mi Seon and Do Kyung, two women bound by friendship and circumstance. With no safety net beyond each other, they struggle to survive in a harsh reality that leaves them with few options. Their decision to steal gold bars worth 8 billion won marks a turning point, driven by a desire to escape their circumstances and disappear without leaving a trace.
The newly unveiled stills capture the fragile yet resolute nature of their relationship. Mi Seon and Do Kyung are often seen leaning on one another, reflecting a bond that resembles family more than friendship. After losing all the money they had painstakingly saved together, the two decide to target illegal funds belonging to CEO To, portrayed by Kim Sung Cheol. What begins as a calculated plan soon evolves into a life-threatening gamble.
One image shows the two women facing each other with blurred focus, a visual metaphor for their unwavering trust even in moments of crisis. Another still depicts them drenched in sweat while digging between graves, hinting at the physical danger and moral boundaries they are willing to cross. These scenes raise questions about whether their plan will succeed and what consequences await them if it fails.
Directed as a gritty crime drama, Project Y centers not only on crime and suspense but also on loyalty and survival. The film is scheduled to premiere in theaters on January 21, 2026, and is expected to draw attention for its intense performances and stark portrayal of desperation in a glamorous yet unforgiving setting.
