“The film is set in the 1980s, and tells a story about a group of high school friends who form a band.”

“Waikiki Brothers established an important voice in Korean New Wave Cinema, one who would later be overlooked by canonizing texts in favor of her male peers like Hong Sang-soo and Park Chan-wook.”
