Waikiki Brothers is a 2001 South Korean film, set in the 1980s, about a group of high school friends who form a band.

After another depressing gig, the saxophonist quits, leaving the three remaining members - lead singer and guitarist Sung-woo (Lee Eol), keyboardist Jung-seok (Park Won-sang), and drummer Kang-soo (Hwang Jung-min), to continue on the road.

For Sung-woo, the calm center of the band, the return home is filled with reservations of disappointments and a lost love.

He reunites with his old high school friends, the original Waikiki Brothers, and finds them far from happy.

Waikiki Brothers starring North Korean defector Kim Young-un,[5] which also performed in Los Angeles in 2006.
