[Woobs chooses Kang Dong Won as master of knowledge]
Woobs : "KDW knows almost everything. He can't stand his own curiousity. If he doesn't know something he'll try to get the answer right away. So when I ask something and he doesn't know about it he personally look for it and tell me. He's that kind of person."

[LBH & KDW chooses KWB, while Woobs choose LBH]

Writer-director Cho Ui-seok’s South Korean crime action thriller Master has been pre-sold to 31 countries even before its local December release.

The KPop Herald reports that CJ Entertainment has sold the film’s distribution rights to international territories such as the United States, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Italy, Thailand, and Singapore among others.

In Master, Filmmaker Cho Ui-seok—known for his crime hits Make it Big (2002), The World of Silence (2006) and Cold Eyes (2013)—directs three of Korea’s biggest actors.

Master is a complex battle between cops and con artists. Lee Byung-hun, who we recently saw in The Age of Shadows (2016) and The Magnificent Seven (2016), plays Jin Hyun—the charming conman and chairman of Won Network. Actor-model Kim Woo Bin, of Friend 2 (2013) and The Con Artists (2014) fame, plays Park Jang-gun—Jin’s faithful right-hand man and Won Network’s tech expert.

When Won Network gets involved in a multibillion-dollar fraud case, Kim Jae-myeong, the team leader of the police intelligent crime unit, must hunt down Jin. Gang Dong-won, known for the blockbusters The Priests (2015) and A Violent Prosecutor (2016), plays the charismatic cop Kim. Uhm Ji-Won as Lieutenant Shin Gemma, Oh Dal-Su as Prosecutor Hwang Myung Joon, and Jin Kyuan as advertising executive Kim Eom Ma, complete the ensemble.

Kim Woo Bin Kang Dong Wan

It looks like there is another bromance in the making!

On November 19, KBS2’s “Entertainment Relay” revealed an interview with Kang Dong Won, Kim Woo Bin, and Lee Byung Hun, the three talented actors of the upcoming movie “Master,” which boasts one of the most star-studded casts of this year.

Kim Woo Bin is the youngest amongst those three actors and he opened up about how he felt on the set, saying, “There was a lot of pressure on the set. I was the second from the youngest among all of the actors, so I thought to myself that as long as I do well, it will be okay.”

The MC asked, “Do you have a lot of aegyo (cute display of affection) to your senior actors?,” to which Kim Woo Bin replied, “I don’t have a lot of aegyo but I do like skinship (physical contact).”

As soon as he answered that, Kang Dong Won, who was seated next to him, chimed in, “Kim Woo Bin has an affectionate style. He likes to touch you,” as everyone cracked up laughing.

“Master” is a crime action film riddled with deceit, as a criminal investigation team hunts down the con artist and brains behind a major fraud case. The film has released its first teaser in September and is regarded as one of the most anticipated films of the year.
