Distributor Lotte Entertainment announced on the 26th, “As the movie ‘Gyeongju Trip’ opens today, we are releasing a soundtrack and a scriptbook that will allow viewers to cherish the film’s profound afterglow for a long time.”
“Gyeongju Journey” is a family revenge drama about four women—a mother and her three daughters—who, after an eight-year wait, embark on a “killer” trip in memory of their youngest daughter, “Gyeongju,” who never returned from a school field trip.
The OST album, which maximizes the genre’s appeal, will be released at 6:00 p.m. on the 26th. The OST, executive produced by music director Kim Hae-won, delivers a sensorial soundscape to audiences.
This album features a total of 25 tracks, including the main title track “The Great Chase”—which condenses the film’s latter-half chase scenes into a single epic piece—as well as the deeply emotional vocal track “Today Is a Clear Day” performed by “Seedless Watermelon Kim Dae-jung,” along with 24 score tracks that richly complement the film’s unpredictable narrative.
The tracks, which capture the drama’s atmosphere where chill and cheer coexist, are available on major domestic music streaming sites (Genie Music, Melon, FLO, Vibe, Bugs) and global platforms (YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.).

Pre-orders for the *Gyeongju Journey* scriptbook, which allows readers to enjoy the series’ detailed settings and vivid dialogue in text form, will also begin on the 26th through major online bookstores. This script book not only allows readers to carefully reflect on the four mothers and daughters’ unrestrained banter and heartwarming family bonds as depicted on screen but also fully captures Director Kim Mi-jo’s delicate director’s notes, adding to the reading pleasure.
It is expected to be a meaningful gift for fans, as it offers a chance to revisit the world meticulously crafted by the director and the complex emotional arcs of the characters. In particular, the striking cover design—featuring a yellow van with vivid bloodstains—hints at the appeal of the film’s hybrid genre and enhances its collectible value.
“Gyeongju Journey” is the first commercial film by Director Kim Mi-jo, whose directing skills were recognized with her debut film, “The Seagull.” Notably, the film received critical acclaim at the 24th Florence Korean Film Festival held last March, where it won the Audience Award. Actors Lee Jung-eun, Gong Hyo-jin, Park So-dam, and Lee Yeon star as four generations of a mother-daughter family.
