About Yobi, the Five Tailed Fox

Yobi, the Five Tailed Fox (μ²œλ…„μ—¬μš° μ—¬μš°λΉ„) is a visually stunning South Korean animated fantasy film directed by Lee Sung-gang, known for his lyrical storytelling in My Beautiful Girl, Mari. Drawing deep inspiration from the traditional Korean folklore of the Kumiho (nine-tailed fox), the film offers a modern, heartfelt twist on the legend by following a young five-tailed fox named Yobi.

The story begins 100 years ago when a group of aliens crash-landed on a mountain near Yobi’s home. Having lived with these quirky stranded visitors for a century, Yobi’s life changes when one of her alien friends is captured by humans. To save him, Yobi transforms into a human girl and joins a local school for ‘maladjusted’ children. There, she forms a deep bond with a boy named Geum-ie and begins to experience the complexities of human emotion, all while being pursued by a relentless fox hunter and a mysterious shadow figure.
