The passionate performances of the actors shone in the silent blast of the film ‘Picnic’. The brilliant performances of Na Moon-hee, Kim Young-ok, and Park Geun-hyung, who are actually in their old age, are said to leave a deep impression on the film.

Here, middle-aged idol and singer Lim Young-woong also contributed. This is because the self-composed song ‘Grains of Sand’ was placed in the OST. This is the first time that a song sung by Lim Young-woong has been used in a film.

Here, Lim Young-woong even had a good influence. Lim Young-woong also donated all the proceeds from ‘Picnic’ music source to the Busan Briquette Bank in the name of their fans, ‘Heroes’ Generation.’

Meanwhile, the film ‘Picnic’ is the story of two friends, best friends and in-laws, who take a trip to their hometown of Namhae together for the first time in 60 years and reconnect with memories of when they were 16 years old. The passionate performances of leading actors Na Moon-hee, Kim Young-ok, and Park Geun-hyung, who represent Korea, touch the hearts of the audience with their eyes that contain many emotions contained in each a sentence.

The break-even point for picnics is 250,000 people, so the notice is not far off. Attention is given to whether the picnic will create a calm storm in the future. Correspondent Cho Min-jeong mj.cho@sportschosun.com
