The upcoming action noir film “Real” has been rated R, the Korean Media Rating Board said Wednesday.

The rating prohibits teenagers under 18 from watching the movie. The board said the film was given the rating because it “contains scenes of sex, nudity, murder using a knife, and the manufacture and inhalation of drugs.”

“(The film) contains content that is harmful to teenagers in terms of its theme of a power game among criminal organizations, actors’ lines and the risk of copycat crimes,” it added.

Starring Kim Soo-hyun and former f(x) member Sulli, the film centers on a conspiracy surrounding Asia’s largest casino.

“Real” will hit theaters nationwide on June 28.
