Director Ryoo Seung-wan has achieved success in the Korean film industry both commercially and critically, with films such as "The 14 Days to Escape." His latest work is one of the most eagerly anticipated hits among Korean film fans.
"Smuggling 1970" is a maritime crime action movie based on the historical fact that smuggling crimes were rampant off the coast of Korea in the 1970s! Moreover, the story revolves around the salvage of smuggled goods that had been sunk to the bottom of the sea.
The protagonists who take on this challenge are ordinary divers who live in a peaceful fishing village! The film stars two star actors, Kim Hye Soo and Yum Jung Ah.
The free-spirited and smart Chunja, played by Kim Hye Soo from "The Days of the Dead," and the responsible Jin-sook, played by Yum Jung Ah from "SKY Castle," are unwavering in their suspicions of each other.
The film is set in an exciting climax, where they join forces and show off their determination and pride as female divers, as well as their solidarity with each other.
In addition, Jo In Sung plays the role of smuggling king Kwon, and Park plays the role of thug Dori.
- From Jeongmin, Kim Jeong-soo as customs officer Jang-chun, to the up-and-coming young actor Go MinSi, a lineup of talented actors, both new and old, comes together to deliver unpredictable ocean crime action!
This time, Jo In Sung, who has been active in movies and TV series across genres, has also announced an additional performance in Osaka for the Fan Meeting in Japan!
The scene where she first appears, showing her insanity, has been revealed! After quitting her job as a female diver, Chunja, who plays Kim Hye Soo, begins to make money selling smuggled clothes with her own hunger. However, she is arrested after being deemed a troll.
Then, Sergeant Kwon, a smuggling king of the underworld, played by Jo In Sung, appears. With a fearless smile on his face, he approaches Chunja, puts a cigarette in his mouth, lights it, and then says, "
"You know me, right?" he said. "The spy from the North also knows Sergeant Kwon... President Kwon." "What would happen if we faced each other one-on-one?" "You'd either die or become disabled... or you'd be friends.
"Will it be worth it?" Chunja replies in a trembling voice, but Kwon remains calm throughout. Then, like a businessman, he says, "You made an easy profit by skimming off the money. If you pay me 18 million won, I'll let you go."
However, when Chunja countered, "What do you mean, 18 million?", he quickly took out a razor blade from his wallet and slashed Chunja's head without hesitation.
While wiping the blood trickling from his forehead to his cheek, he dismisses her, saying, "Don't interrupt me. And that's your sister." Although he speaks in a light tone, it shows in one shot the wickedness of a man who controls the underworld.
He has played various characters in various productions, including the Korean hit TV series "It Happened in Bali" and "It's Okay, That's Love," as well as last year's Hot Topic "Moving."
Jo In Sung's unpretentious appearance in the "Chief's Business Journal" series was well received. Tickets for the fan meeting held in Tokyo in May this year were sold out, and an additional performance in Osaka in July has been scheduled.
He continues to fascinate his fans. The first time he will be involved in a film directed by Ryoo Seung-wan is in "Mogadishu" where he plays an elite diplomat.
This is the second time after "14 Days to Escape", but at a production press conference in China, the director called me directly to confirm my appearance.
She revealed that she had a relationship with the director, saying, "(The director) lives close by and we're neighbours, so I sometimes go over to hang out with him. He's like an older brother to me, and now I feel like we've become film buddies (comrades)."
The two showed a strong bond of trust. Director Ryoo Seung-wan focused on "a different charm to Jo In Sung's from 'Mogadishu'" and the villain's charisma is sure to explode in the film.
