Casting

[edit]

In March 2021, it was announced that Yoo Ah-in, Ra Mi-ran, Ahn Jae-hong, Oh Jung-se and Lee Jae-in joined the cast of the film,[2] followed by Jinyoung in May 2021.[3]

Filming

[edit]

Principal photography began on June 1, 2021. Filming took place in Songdo International Business District, Incheon and Namhyeon-dong, Seoul,[4] and ended on November 7, 2021.[5][6][7]

Release

[edit]

The first tentative date of release for Hi.5 was 2022.[8][9] It was later scheduled for a May 2023 release, but it was postponed indefinitely after Yoo Ah-in tested positive for propofol and marijuana in February 2023.[10] Later in June 2023, Next Entertainment World reported that internal discussions were underway on how to edit out Yoo and that releasing the movie within the year would be difficult.[1]

On April 4, 2025, Next Entertainment World announced that they were preparing for the movie to be released in June and that Yoo Ah-in will not participate in promotional schedule.[11] Originally set to be released on June 3,[12] the release date was then brought forward to May 30.[13]
