Aachi and Ssipak Returns With a 20th Anniversary 2K Remaster

It has been two decades since Aachi and Ssipak first hit South Korean theaters, and director Joe Bum jin is ready to introduce his wild sci fi comedy to a new audience. The film is officially making a comeback through Darkroom, which is presenting a brand new 2K restoration to celebrate the project's twentieth anniversary.

When it first debuted in 2006, the movie had a tough time finding its footing at the domestic box office. With just over 100,000 recorded admissions, it struggled to gain traction during its initial run. However, the film has since earned a reputation for being an unconventional and memorable piece of adult animation.

Director Joe Bum jin is using this milestone to reflect on the film's difficult journey and the creative choices that made it stand out. Fans can look forward to seeing the movie in a higher quality format, as this restoration aims to preserve the unique energy of the original project for a modern audience.
