Principal photography began on June 1, 2021. Filming took place in Songdo International Business District, Incheon and Namhyeon-dong, Seoul,[4] and ended on November 7, 2021.[5][6][7]
The first tentative date of release for Hi.5 was 2022.[8][9] It was later scheduled for a May 2023 release, but it was postponed indefinitely after Yoo Ah-in tested positive for propofol and marijuana in February 2023.[10] Later in June 2023, Next Entertainment World reported that internal discussions were underway on how to edit out Yoo and that releasing the movie within the year would be difficult.[1]
