Train to Busan is a landmark Korean zombie horror film set aboard a high-speed KTX train traveling at 300 km/h as a pandemic breaks out. Its human drama under extreme circumstances struck a chord with audiences, and the film — often described as "a zombie movie that makes you cry" and "a paradigm shift for zombie movies" — became a major hit that sparked the "K-zombie" boom.
2026 marks the 10th anniversary of Train to Busan's production. It comes right before the Japan release of Yeon Sang-ho's long-awaited latest film 『顔 -かお-』 on August 28, 2026, and alongside the Netflix series 『ガス人間』 and his new film 群体 (original title; English title: Colony), which received an official invitation to the 79th Cannes Film Festival — renewed global attention is once again turning to Yeon Sang-ho's work.
It's shaping up to be a "Yeon Sang-ho year," with the film's first 4K run offering audiences a chance to catch it back on the big screen.

Filmarks Culture Wear
Filmarks Culture Wear is a new kind of "culture wear" from Filmarks. Rather than treating films and anime as mere motifs, the designs are meant to resonate with a work's ideas, emotions, and worldview — going beyond simply liking something to become one with its message. For Filmarks, that makes each piece more than merchandise; it's a form of identity.
Wearing a favorite work is a way of living inside its world — a form of self-expression.
