Hyun Bin from the movie 'Negotiations' is dismantled into the NIS agent 'Park Dae-sik' and predicts another unprecedented transformation

 

'Negotiation' is a film depicting the negotiating operation between a diplomat and a local NIS agent who went to Afghanistan to save Koreans who were held hostage by the Taliban in the worst kidnapping case.

 

Park Dae-sik, portrayed by Hyun Bin, is a local NIS agent specializing in the Middle East and Central Asia, and lives with the trauma of not being able to save hostages during the Iraq crisis.

He tried to quit his job because he was disappointed with his superiors who seemed to only use him, but he headed to Afghanistan when he heard that Koreans were kidnapped and his life was in danger. Determined to rescue the hostages at all costs, he tries to solve the case in a way optimized for the local area, but confronts diplomat Jeong Jae-ho (Hwang Jung-min), who specializes in negotiations, who advocates principles and procedures.

 

In addition to the dynamic action of delicate emotional acting, Hyun Bin made an external change with an unconventional appearance, such as a beard that grew rough due to his life in the Middle East, a messy hairstyle, and a fashion optimized for the Afghan locale.

 

Director Lim Soon-rye said,

“'Gluttony' is a primitive and free person like the wind. I thought Hyun Bin would be able to express such a solitary and lonely person well.”

 

Hyun Bin said, “I tried to express the pain of a person struggling with past trauma, the urgency for the strategy, and the background of a rough life by gradually accumulating it to express it more attractively.”

 

The movie 'Negotiation' is scheduled to be released on January 18, 2023.

Hyun Bin Will Do Anything To Save The Hostages In New Action Film

Dec 14, 2022

by AliG

 

 

New photos of Hyun Bin looking cool and collected in his upcoming movie “The Point Men” (working title) have been released!
 

“The Point Men” depicts the story that unfolds during a negotiation operation between a diplomat and local National Intelligence Service (NIS) agent heading to Afghanistan to rescue South Korean citizens who were kidnapped and are being held hostage by the Taliban. This is Hyun Bin’s first movie that will be released since he and his wife welcomed their first childinto the world.

 

Hyun Bin will play Park Dae Sik, an NIS agent who specializes in the Middle East and Central Asia. He has left Korea long ago and still lives with the trauma he suffered when he was unable to save hostages in the past during a situation in Iraq. Feeling that he was merely being used as a tool by his superiors, Park Dae Sik was on the brinks of quitting his job when he learned of the hostage situation involving South Korean citizens in Afghanistan. Putting the disappointment he felt toward his job behind him, he heads for Afghanistan to save the hostages.

 

With the intention of rescuing the hostages by any means possible and by using methods that will be optimized to the local area, Park Dae Sik comes to confront Jung Jae Ho (Hwang Jung Min), a diplomat who specializes in negotiations and who puts forward many principles and procedures. Viewers can look forward to seeing how Hyun Bin will portray his character who comes to win over his past traumas and grow as a person. Moviegoers can also look forward to lots of action scenes that don’t shy away from truly depicting the severity of the situation and will see Hyun Bin sporting a new look with messy hair and even a beard to really bring his character and the setting to life.

 

The newly released photos give a sneak peek into the world of this nerve-racking story with Park Dae Sik walking confidently through the grounds, wearing sunglasses and looking like he is there with only one goal in mind: to save the people of his country. Another picture shows him sitting in a truck, looking quite pensive as he stares out at the desert before him.

 

 

On his role of Park Dae Sik, Hyun Bin commented, “I tried to portray the pain of the character fighting past traumas, the urgency of the operation, and his rough background in layers to make it more appealing.”

 

“The Point Men” will be coming to theaters on January 18. Check out a teaser below!

@bearcreek  thanks for sharing this.  The 1st time that his photos were released, it suddenly brought my attention to his new rugged look. He has completely transformed his look from his clean-cut image into an unkempt full beard and a more rugged one that had never been seen on him before. OMO....that doesn’t even look like him. That cosmetic make up beard looks real. Looks really convincing though. Still, I prefer the clean-cut image though.
