Apple Holds Red-Carpet Premiere for New ‘Pachinko’ Series

Apple hosted the world premiere of the new streaming series “Pachinko” at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles on March 16 ahead of its March 25 global debut on Apple TV+. 

Attendees at the red carpet premiere included Academy Award-winning actress Yuh-Jung Youn, Lee Minho, Jin Ha, Minha Kim, Anna Sawai, Eunchae Jung, Inji Jeong, Jimmi Simpson, Junwoo Han, Steve Sanghyun Noh, Soji Arai and Kaho Minami, along with writer, showrunner, creator and executive producer Soo Hugh, directors and executive producers Kogonada and Justin Chon, executive producers Michael Ellenberg, Lindsey Springer, and executive producer Theresa Kang-Lowe.

“Pachinko” chronicles the hopes and dreams of a Korean immigrant family across four generations as they leave their homeland in a quest to survive and thrive. Starting in South Korea in the early 1900s, the story is told through the eyes of a remarkable matriarch, Sunja, who triumphs against all odds. It juxtaposes her story with that of her grandson, Solomon, in the 1980s.
