An Unspoken Romance Begins
What does falling in love look like when words can’t be spoken? In the heartwarming Korean film ‘Hear Me: Our Summer’, set for Japanese release under the title 『君の声を聴かせて』this coming September 26, 2025, actor Hong Kyung invites viewers into a tender coming-of-age tale told largely through sign language.
First Encounter, No Sound Needed
The newly released clip gives us a glimpse of Youngjun (played by Hong Kyung), a restless college grad stuck delivering lunch boxes for his parents. Everything changes when he meets Yeo-reum (Noh Yoonseo), a swimmer who communicates using sign language. After helping her out with a broken scooter, Youngjun gathers his courage and signs, “Let’s be friends.” His sweet invitation for iced coffee marks the start of something more than friendship—this is the spark of young love.
Love Beyond Words
What sets this romance apart isn’t just the shy exchanges and fluttering hearts—it’s the language of connection. The film boldly sidelines typical dialogue in favor of Korean Sign Language (KSL), amplifying every glance, every gesture. “Sign language lets you see how someone really feels,” Hong Kyung shared behind the scenes. “That’s why you can never take your eyes off the other person.”
