Programme History

Part of Queer East Festival 2026

Director: Joonho Park
Runtime: 124 Mins
Year: 2025
Country: South Korea

Cheol-jun is a young North Korean defector who has recently arrived in Seoul. Despite having two close friends among his fellow defectors, he has always felt isolated, forced to hide his gay identity. But after summoning up the courage to attend a drinks gathering, he meets Yeong-jun, who introduces him to a group of gay friends who meet up regularly in the city’s vibrant clubs and bars. Powered by an outstanding performance from Cho Yoo-hyun, 3670 is a milestone in South Korean queer cinema, casting aside stereotypes to authentically examine the conflicts, complexities, and behavioural codes of Seoul’s gay scene. The film’s title, 3670, is queer messaging code for a meetup: Jongno-3-ga metro station, Exit 6, 7pm – those invited then amend the 0 to indicate the number of people who will attend.
