[Edaily Reporter Park Jeong-soo] #SAMG Entertainment is set to conquer the summer box office with the theatrical sequel to its flagship intellectual property (IP) series, "Tinyping."
SAMG Entertainment announced that the film "Love Hachuping: The Legend of the Whale Jewel" is set to open on August 5 and released a teaser poster.
This film is the sequel to "Love Hachuping," which was released last August and drew 1.24 million viewers. As the second installment in the theatrical trilogy, it is a fantasy animation depicting the adventures of Romi and Hachuping as they set out to rescue Romi’s mother, who has disappeared into the sea.
The released teaser poster features the previous film’s protagonists, Romi and Hachuping, along with new characters. Kite, a sea boy who helps Romi on her journey, and new Tini-ping characters such as Bangul-ping, Challang-ping, and Sora-ping make their debut.
In particular, this film highlights a new world setting and adventure narrative centered around the ocean. The poster includes the phrase “I’m not afraid when we’re together,” foreshadowing a story focused on Romi’s growth and family love.
SAMG Entertainment plans to sequentially release various content, starting with the teaser poster, followed by a trailer and the OST.
Kim Soo-hoon, CEO of SAMG Entertainment, stated, “If the first film was a coming-of-age story about Romi discovering the meaning of love for the first time, the second film is a story about feeling a mother’s love in her heart,” adding, “It will be a heartwarming film that the whole family can enjoy together.”
Meanwhile, "Love's Hachuping: The Legend of the Whale Gem" plans to continue its box office success by targeting not only family audiences but also the 20-30 age group with its release during the summer vacation season.
