Cho is currently working on a new film Spirits' Homecoming, which tells the story of two Korean girls who are kidnapped by Japanese soldiers and forced to work in a so-called comfort station.[8] After one of the girls dies, the two friends have a spiritual meeting years later with the help of a shaman.[7] He originally planned to release it by August 15, 2015, in time for the 70th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II.[9] But the theatrical release had to be delayed because the film had trouble finding a distributor.[10]
