Actor Hwang Jeong-min, who has been awarded for two mega-blockbusters, “Ode to My Father” and “Veteran,” and is starring in “The Himalayas,” now in theaters, seems tireless, with another movie scheduled to hit screens early next year.
“A Violent Prosecutor,” starring Hwang, 45, is a crime movie that opens in February.
The movie features Hwang as a talented prosecutor who is wrongfully accused of murder and jailed for years. He meets a con artist in jail (Kang Dong-won), who he tries to take advantage of outside prison to seek revenge.
“This is going to be something that’s loaded with fun and people can easily enjoy,” Hwang was quoted by a media report as saying: “I wanted to deliver audiences an image of a person with an unbreakable vocational spirit who is down at rock bottom.”
A musical, “The Orchestra Pit,” starring Hwang and Oh Man-seok, is attracting large audiences. The musical presents an array of crazy incidents that happen in the orchestra pit.
