The film marks the debut of director KIM Han-gyeol, previously known for her short films, and was produced by ZIP CINEMA, the production company behind such hits as Cold Eyes (2013) and Master (2016). The film was distributed locally by Next Entertainment World, best known for their global hit TRAIN TO BUSAN (2016).
