[NEWS] #KimSoohyun’s #KnockOff Signals 2026 Comeback Exactly one year has passed since last March, when the declaration of “indefinite public release hold” shocked fans around the world. Signs have been captured that the Disney+ original series Knock Off, which had 60 billion won invested in production costs as actor Kim Soohyun’s next project, is finally preparing to come out into the world in the first half of 2026. According to the broadcasting and financial industries on the 28th, Disney+ is recently reorganizing its major content lineup for the first half of 2026 and is adjusting the scheduling timing of Knock Off. During the past year, because of controversy related to the actor’s personal matters, they took the strong measure of stopping production and holding the release. However, as Kim Soohyun’s global fandom is still showing strong power and the burden of losses from discarding the content has grown, analysis says they have chosen a “direct release strategy.” Knock Off deals with the story of a man who became the king of the fake goods market during the IMF period, and it shows off accurate period research and a flashy large scale. At a time when major domestic companies such as Lotte Wellfood and Hana Bank are leading the market mood in 2026 with aggressive investment and innovation, expectations are rising that the revival of this blockbuster in the content market will become a “game changer” that brings energy to the entire sector. In particular, as it becomes more likely that the progress of the remaining filming of Knock Off and specific streaming strategies will be mentioned at entertainment companies’ IR sessions scheduled for early March, the stock prices of related shares have also begun to draw an upward curve. Just as KB Kookmin Bank prepares for the future by fostering young IT talent, it is interpreted that Disney+ is also determined to break through risks head on and prove the strength of K content. An industry official said, “Like the warm weather these days, warmth is also returning to Kim Soohyun’s comeback front line, which had been frozen,” and added, “Whether the name Knock Off will appear again at the official lineup showcase in early March is the biggest point to watch in the entertainment industry in the first half of this year.” ⸻ thefairnews.co.kr/news/articleVi…
