The Center for Korean Studies spring film series presents a screening of Waikiki Brothers (와이키키 브라더스), a feature directed by Yim Soon-rye and released in 2001.

The spring series, titled Castaway in Korean Society, is presenting filmic explorations of life in contemporary South Korean society in a world transformed by economic uncertainty and social changes set in motion by the 1997 economic crisis. Waikiki Brothers is the story of a band fallen on hard times. Its membership dwindles from seven three. Despite the depressing flow of events, the band's leader plays on.
