How to watch Victory: Korea’s answer to Bring It On gets US release date
Cheerleading movie Victory recently opened a New York film festival, and now the Korean comedy is getting a theatrical release in the US.
Victory was the opening night movie at the recent New York Asian Film Festival, where star Lee Hye-ri – best known as a member of K-pop group Girl’s Day – won the international ‘Rising Star Asia’ award.
A comedy-drama that’s been compared to cult classic Bring It On, as well as recent comedy hitBottoms, the film is set in 1999 at a high school on a Korean island, and revolves around the formation of a cheer club called the Millennium Girls.
The high-kicking, high-flying efforts of the group help rouse the spirits of a region that’s been depressed by the 1997 financial crisis in Asia. And also drive the school’s football team to success as they endeavour to reach the national championships.
