Kim Woo Bin 김우빈 I [Upcoming Drama 2024] Everything Will Come True

[willenette]

*** Kim Woo Bin graces Arena Homme Plus May issue cover. For this photoshoot, he wore Ralph Lauren’s Purple Label collection. This interview, he shared his self-reflection on how he has changed, saying, “Eight years ago, I always lived in the future. I had a strong obsession with achieving something,” and “Now, as I try to live happily day by day, I’ve become a truly happy person. I’m actually very introverted and shy around strangers. As an actor, I can’t be shy in front of others forever. Although I can’t completely become a different person in ‘Kim Woo Bin mode,’ it does make it a bit easier for me to communicate.” When asked about what makes a good actor, he replied, “First of all, they must be good at acting. However, there’s no right answer in acting. So I think a good actor is someone who communicates well with the staff.”

Kim Woo Bin Leads A Courageous Fight In Daunting Poster For Upcoming Sci-Fi Series “Black Knight”

 

 

Kim Woo Bin’s upcoming sci-fi series “Black Knight” has dropped a daunting new poster!

 

Based on a webtoon, Netflix’s “Black Knight” takes place in 2071 when pollution has become so severe that people can’t survive without respirators. The series follows the story that unfolds as legendary deliveryman 5-8 (Kim Woo Bin) meets refugee Sa Wol (Kang You Seok), who dreams of becoming a deliveryman because they are the refugees’ only hope. Together, they struggle against Cheonmyeong Group, an organization that is eager to rule the world with their vicious cruelty.

 

Song Seung Heon will take on the role of villain Ryu Seok, the only son of Cheonmyeong Group chairman Ryu Hae Jin, and Esom will be playing Seol Ah, a major of the military intelligence who looks after Sa Wol like family.

In the new poster, 5-8 and his fellow deliverymen step onto the scene as people who protect others in addition to delivering them oxygen and other everyday necessities. Unlike typical deliverymen, 5-8 wears a daunting all-black outfit and is followed by several other hooded, masked, and armed characters. The poster reads, “A world where oxygen is controlled. The only hope to destroy the world.”

 

 

Kim Woo Bin introduced the deliverymen in the upcoming series, saying, “During the day, they deliver packages in their respective regions, just like typical deliverymen. At night, they’re people who help refugees and think with them about what they can do to live well altogether.”

The director elaborated that these deliverymen are not like the ones we typically think of. They also explained that the series’ English title “Black Knight” refers to the name of an organization of specific deliverymen aiming to take down Cheonmyeong Group.

 

“Black Knight” will be released on May 12. Check out a teaser here!

@backstreetboysfan  this is an epic trailer. It provides a glimpse into the world of the deliverymen. It shows that 40 years ago, the Korean Peninsula was transformed into a desert, leaving only one percent of the population to survive. While Seoul’s landmarks are still visible, the city and nature that were once there have disappeared, with the Han River filled with sand and N Seoul Tower partially destroyed. We can see the legendary deliveryman 5-8 (played by Kim Woo Bin) delivers oxygen and daily necessities during the day, taking responsibility for the survival of those remaining.

Netflix releases main trailer for Kim Woo-bin’s ‘Black Knight’ series 

 

Netflix has released the main trailer for the Korean series “Black Knight” starring actor Kim Woo-bin. 

 

Set in 2071, “Black Knight”  tells the story of refugee Sa-wol, and the legendary deliveryman 5-8, as he takes on the all-powerful Cheonmyeong Group in a dystopian version of Korea. The country is ravaged by extreme air pollution, rendering it uninhabitable without an oxygen mask. 

 

 

"Black Knight" (Netflix Korea)

The main trailer shows a scene into a post-apocalyptic universe where the Korean peninsula has become a desert wasteland and only one percent of the population clings to life. The devastated look of Seoul seems outright surreal. 

 

In “Black Knight,” Kim Woo-bin is deliveryman 5-8 who works as a lifeline to mankind, delivering oxygen and other necessities in the daytime. 

 

At night, he transforms into a Black Knight with a plot to upend the order created by Cheonmyeong Group, the de facto ruler of the devastated world. 

 

Ryu Seok (Song Seung-heon), the ruthless heir to Cheonmyeong Group, clashes with 5-8 as he defends his vision of a world with no place for the refugees. 

 

Spoiler

 

Seol-ah (Esom), a major at the Defense Intelligence Command, warns 5-8 that chaos may spiral out of hand, while Sa-wol, a refugee who aspires of becoming a Black Knight, boldly climbs onto 5-8's truck, eager to join the fight.

 

Director Cho Ui-seok aimed to create “more down-to-earth and lively” scenes compared to the original webtoon. 

 

“Black Knight” will premiere exclusively on Netflix on May 12.

@backstreetboysfan  According to a report by Joynews24 on April 27th, Kim Woo Bin already completed the recording for (“You Quiz”) on April 26th. This is his first time appearing on a talk show alone. Well, even he's alone, Kim Woo Bin is known for his witty talks despite having a serious appearance. I've watched tvN’s variety show “Unexpected Business 2” last year, he impressed me with his performance as a humorous part-timer. I'm looking forward to the stories he will share with MCs. Yoo Jae Suk has worked with Kim Woo Bin in SBS’s “Running Man”.
