Shin Se-kyung, 2AM’s Im Seulong, Baek Jin-hee, and two members of CN Blue are starring in a three-part omnibus film about youth, wandering, passion and music, called Acoustic.
Directed by Yoo Sang-hun, the film will be divided into three parts: Part 1 stars Shin Se-kyung, Part 2 stars CN Blue’s Lee Jong-hyun and Kang Min-hyuk, and Part 3 stars Im Seulong and Baek Jin-hee.
It looks like Shin Se-kyung is the big name star, cast to drum up interest in the indie film, but the focus may be more on Part 3′s Im Seulong and Baek Jin-hee, as theirs is the love story. Baek is gaining a lot of traction in supporting roles, with projects like The Naked Kitchen, Loving You a Thousand Times, and the drama special Secret Garden under her belt. This year she’ll be in two other films, Hoya and Festival, both currently in production.
Shin Se-kyung is at work on her big film Blue Salt with Song Kang-ho and Chun Jung-myung, a thriller due out later this year. Im Seulong played a supporting role in Personal Taste, and this will be the acting debut for CN Blue’s Lee Jong-hyun and Kang Min-hyuk.
Omnibus films are a great breeding ground for new talent, rising stars, and especially great for crossover singers who are pretty green when it comes to acting. The short-film compilation feel of it will probably help to counterbalance it too, if any of the stories start to lag. With the right soundtrack and a loose, indie sensibility, this could become a film to look out for.
Acoustic is currently in principle photography, and is aiming for an October release at the Busan International Film Festival.

Ooh. Minhyuk and Jonghyun.
I’ll be looking forward to it.
me too, that´s the story i´m more interesting in!
seulong, min hyuk and jonghyun?!! okay, i’m aboard….huhuhu….:)
Yayness!!! I love CNBlue, and I’m excited to see that Jonghyun and Minhyuk are in this as opposed to Yonghwa. I mean, he’s awesome but the others deserve to shine too. I hope Jonghyun sings – I would watch the whole movie to see just that. I also liked Seulong in PT, despite him overacting a bit, so that’s another thing to look forward too. Fingers crossed that the soundtrack is awesome.
I’m curious about Minhyuk’s & Jonghyun’s acting
It’s great to see Seulong after his hilarious bits from Personal Taste.
I guess I’ll be the first fanboy to post. Woo, Shin Se Kyung!
