It was selected as the first Korean closing film at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and screened as part of the Critics' Week section for special screenings.

Production

At the end of 2016, director July Jung saw a story of a high school girl sent by her school to work as an intern in a telecommunication company's call center to gain real-world work experience. But, within three months she committed suicide on her job. The investigation brought to the surface that the girl experienced stressful working conditions in the call center. This story became the basis of her film titled Next Sohee.

Next Sohee is Jung's second film, following the 2014 detective drama A Girl at My Door, which also starred Bae Doona and was invited to the "Un Certain Regard" selection of the 67th Cannes Film Festival.

Principal photography began on January 16, 2022 and filming wrapped on February 28, 2022.
