Good news for movie buffs in Nepal, the South Korean horror thriller Noise has officially made its debut in theaters across Nepal. Directed by Kim Soo-jin and starring Lee Sun-bin, Kim Min-seok, and Han Su-a, the film was released on August 29, 2025, marking a historic moment as the first Korean movie to be screened in Nepali cinemas.

Noise delivers a gripping tale of mystery and suspense, blending horror with intense storytelling that has captivated audiences worldwide. After achieving their dream of owning a home, sisters Joo-young (Lee Sun-bin) and Joo-hee (Han Su-a) are haunted by a mysterious, unidentifiable noise in their apartment. When Joo-young suddenly loses contact with her sister, she rushes back from her job in the countryside, enlisting the help of Joo-hee’s boyfriend, Ki-hoon (Kim Min-seok), to search for her. As tensions rise, a neighbor living below becomes convinced the sisters are the source of the eerie sounds and begins issuing terrifying threats, turning their peaceful home into a suspenseful nightmare.

The film’s entry into Nepalese theaters signals a growing interest in Korean cinema, reflecting the global popularity of K-dramas and K-movies.

Ranjana Cineplex in Kathmandu is among the key theaters screening the film, with showtimes and tickets available through platforms such as Showtime Nepal.
