The music video “Back! Stage” (directed by Bang Sung Joon), which channels the fiery energy of youth through music, continues to excite audiences in theaters with the release of a special poster featuring YUNHO of ATEEZ, one of the lead actors.
Released on August 18 in 19 CGV theaters across the country, “Back! Stage” had a strong start amid high audience expectations. At the event held on the day of release at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall, YUNHO and the other lead actors participated in an on-stage greeting, which concluded successfully to enthusiastic applause from the audience. Attendees received a special poster signed by YUNHO with a personal thank-you message, given to the first arrivals, generating great excitement among fans.
The poster showcases YUNHO in an impressive pose, holding the microphone high and reaching toward the spotlight. This scene highlights the film’s pivotal moment when the main character, Giseok, receives an offer to return from the band that had rejected him two years earlier and steps back onto the stage after internal conflict. YUNHO’s passion and deep immersion in his character are fully conveyed.
“Back! Stage” is a full-scale production by CJ ENM, overseeing everything from planning and production to the music. The company is known for numerous hit OSTs, including “Lovely runner“, “Yumi’s cells“, “Crash landing on you“, and “Goblin”. With a short runtime of 22 minutes, the film was entirely shot on an iPhone 16 Pro, offering an innovative and original approach as a “music snack music video.”
For his screen debut, YUNHO has been praised for his stable acting, nuanced emotional expression, and ability to translate his stage experience to the screen. Emerging actors Bae Jae-young, Lee Chan-woo, and Kim Eun-ho also brought fresh and vibrant energy, further energizing the film.
Additionally, today, August 19, a second on-stage greeting with the lead actors is scheduled at CGV Yeongdeungpo.
