Action-themed film "Confidential Assignment" will soon release its sequel and the cast has been confirmed!
"Confidential Assignment" is a South Koreanmovie released in 2017 that tells the story of Im Cheol Ryung (Hyun Bin), a North Korean officer of the special investigation team. His team goes on a mission at a warehouse that prints counterfeit money.
Unexpectedly, Im Cheol Ryung's superior Cha Ki Seong (Kim Joo Hyuk) as well as his team are there to steal the master plates to print the counterfeit money. Because of this, chaos happened and a shoot-out occurred, to which Im Cheol Ryung obtained gun wounds and others were also killed in the incident.
Later on, North Korean leaders discovered that Cha Ki Seong has fled to South Korea and Im Cheol Ryung was given a task to take down Cha Ki Seong to retrieve the stolen master plates. He was given a time frame of only 3 days to complete his mission.
In order to help Im Cheol Ryung complete his mission, he needs to work together with a South Korean detective named Kang Jin Tae (Yoo Hae Jin), who is ordered to watch over Im Cheol Ryung closely. For the first time, South Korea and North Korea decide to cooperate to catch a criminal.
The sequel of the film will possibly be titled "Confidential Assignment 2: International" and will feature the main lead, Im Cheol Ryung, going back to South Korea to track down a vicious and secret criminal organization. Again, he teams up with Kang Jin Tae who also requested to work with him in order to get back on the investigation team after an error that landed him in the cybercrime department.
The new installment will also have new faces, which include Daniel Henney and Jin Sun Kyu. The former is said to star as an FBI detective from the United States named Jack. He is also tracking down the North Korean criminal organization that has caused destruction and chaos all around the world.
Meanwhile, Jin Sun Kyu will star as Myung Joon the head of the North Korean criminal organization. YoonA previously appeared in the 2017 film as the sister-in-law of Kang Jin Tae. In the sequel, however, YoonA's role will expand as Park Min Young, who nurtures a deep affection for Im Cheol Ryung. She considers herself as a YouTube star, but based on her sister's outlook, she's just an unemployed girl.
"Confidential Assignment" sequel will be helmed by Director Lee Seok Hoon, who also worked on films "The Pirates" and "The Himalayas." The film is scheduled to start their filming next month (February)!
