Although Lee Min Ho's upcoming film noir-style action movie, 'Gangnam 1970,' was planned to premiere in November, it has now been pushed back to January.

Showbox, in charge of distributing the movie, disclosed through a statement on October 24, "'Gangnam 1970' has changed its premiere date to January of next year.  We changed the premiere to January to safely meet many more viewers because it is the peak time in the market."

In addition, a rep from the movie's marketing team said, "As 'Gangnam 1970's premiere was pushed back to January, the press conference planned for October 28 has also been canceled.  We decided to cancel it because it was too early to have a press conference in October when the movie's out next year."
