[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Hwang Jung-min safely returned to Korea on the 2nd after finishing filming the movie Negotiation in Jordan.

According to the film industry on the 4th, Hwang Jung-min returned from Jordan through Incheon International Airport on the 2nd, underwent a COVID-19 test, and entered self-quarantine. Hwang Jung-min tested negative for COVID-19.

Hwang Jung-min, along with Hyun Bin and others, flew to Jordan by charter flight on July 13, spent the local self-quarantine period, and then began filming Negotiation. Negotiation attracted attention as the first Korean film to start overseas filming amid difficulties in international travel due to the spread of COVID-19.

Originally, Negotiation was scheduled to begin filming in Jordan at the end of March, but local filming was canceled after the Jordanian government banned the entry of Koreans due to COVID-19.

In response, the Negotiation team started filming in Korea first and, after continuous discussions with the Jordanian government, obtained permission to film for 2 to 3 months starting in July.

Hwang Jung-min, who had scheduled filming for the JTBC drama Hush as the lead, finished filming earlier than other actors and returned home. Other actors such as Hyun Bin and the staff are expected to return around mid-September after the local filming schedule.

Meanwhile, after completing the self-quarantine period, Hwang Jung-min will begin filming Hush, and Hyun Bin plans to review his next project after returning home.
