Professionally talking, it has been an excellent couple of years for Lee Jung-jae. His starring position as Seong Gi-hun in Squid Sport made him a world star (and received him an Emmy), he landed a Star Conflict and he is now making his movie directorial debut with spy thriller Hunt. Take a look at the trailer…

Written by Jo Seung-Hee, the film follows what occurs when a bunch of operatives on a high secret authorities mission are gunned down. Korean Overseas Intelligence Unit chief Park Pyong-ho (Lee) and Home Unit chief Kim Jung-do (Jung Woo-sung) should uncover a North Korean spy, generally known as Donglim, who’s deeply embedded inside their company and regarded as accountable for the leak.

Hunt can be in UK and Irish cinemas and on Altitude.movie and different digital platforms from 4 November.
