The highly anticipated film Harbin, directed by Woo Min Ho, has set its release date for December 25. The production team unveiled the first stills on November 18, offering a glimpse of the star-studded cast, including Hyun Bin, Park Jung Min, Jo Woo Jin, Jeon Yeo Bin, and more, as determined independence fighters.
Harbin centers around the story of independence fighter Ahn Jung Geun, portrayed by Hyun Bin, along with his comrades Woo Deok Soon (Park Jung Min), Kim Sang Hyun (Jo Woo Jin), Gong Bu In (Jeon Yeo Bin), Mori Tatsuo (Park Hoon), Choi Jae Hyung (Yoo Jae Myung), and Lee Chang Seop (Lee Dong Wook). The film captures their perilous journey to Harbin in 1909, driven by a shared mission to fight for Korean independence.
The film is a high-stakes spy thriller, filled with suspense and tension, as independence fighters navigate complex dynamics with their enemies in pursuit. Set against a historical backdrop, Harbin explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and courage amid intense circumstances, where trust and betrayal intertwine in their relentless pursuit of freedom.
Woo Min Ho, acclaimed for his sharp social commentary in films like The Man Standing Next, Drug King, and Inside Men, returns with this new project after a four-year hiatus. Known for his ability to dissect different eras with precision and nuance, Woo now turns his lens to the lives of Korean independence fighters in a narrative infused with action, intrigue, and historical reverence.
Harbin also marks the reunion of Woo Min Ho and production company Hive Media Corp., known for Spring in Seoul and Deliver Us from Evil. This collaboration has raised expectations, as both Woo and Hive Media Corp. have a track record of delivering compelling films that resonate with audiences.
A spokesperson for the production team highlighted the unique combination of the cast, stating, “The mix of these actors creates a refreshing energy. Each brings a distinct aura that blends into a captivating portrayal of the independence fighters’ turbulent journey. We look forward to audiences witnessing this remarkable tale.”
With its combination of historical relevance, a compelling storyline, and a powerful ensemble cast, Harbin is expected to captivate viewers and provide a deeper insight into the sacrifices of those who fought for independence.
