Actor Park Hee-soon will portray An Jung-geun. According to his agency Starship Entertainment on the 18th, Park Hee-soon will star in the film "Harbin," produced by Joyful Imagination. The film is set during the period of Japanese imperialist invasion of the Korean Empire, including events such as the assassination of Empress Myeongseong, the Russo-Japanese War, the Eulsa Treaty, and the disbandment of the military. It depicts the tense week leading up to An Jung-geun's Harbin assassination and his martyrdom in the Lushun prison. The film is directed by Joo Kyung-joong, who directed "Song of Resurrection" (1991), "Dongseung" (2003), and "Natalie" (2010). Filming aims for release this year, marking the 110th anniversary of An Jung-geun's martyrdom. Park Hee-soon said, "An Jung-geun was not just a simple hero but a man who broke through a bleak era with his whole body," adding, "The passionate story deeply moved me." Kim Hae-sook will play An Jung-geun's mother, Jo Maria.
