achinko is a highly-anticipated drama series created by Soo Hugh based on the novel of the same title by Manhattan-based author and journalist Min Jin Lee. The series is directed by Kogonada and Justin Chon and stars Youn Yuh-jung, Lee Min-ho, Kim Min-ha and Jin Ha. It premiered on Apple TV+ on March 25, 2022.
