The South Korean sci-fi film "Victory" was originally scheduled to be released on September 23, but was postponed several times due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now the distribution company Merry Christmas has announced that the release of "Victory" can no longer be postponed and has decided to release it through the Netflix platform to more than 190 countries around the world with subtitles in 31 languages, but the specific release date of the film has not been announced.

Netflix said, “We are pleased to announce that the movie ‘Victory’ will be released simultaneously in more than 190 countries around the world through Netflix.

"Victory" tells the story of the Victory spaceship, which is looking for valuable garbage in 2092, and shuttles through the universe to find its goal. Although the goal is only money, the crew owes a huge amount of repair costs and debts. At this time, a dangerous lethal weapon robot appears in front of them. Pilot Tae-ho (played by Song Joong-ki) smells a business opportunity and thinks he can make a lot of money, so he starts to discuss a plan.

"Victory" is directed by Cho Sung-hee, the director of "A Wolf Boy", and co-starred by Song Joong-ki, Kim Tae-ri, Jin Seon-kyu, Yoo Hae-jin, and "Uncle" Richard Armitage. The film cost 24 billion won (about 143 million yuan), making it one of the most expensive films in Korean film history and the first Korean science fiction film with the theme of outer space exploration.
