Distributor Showbox announced on the 12th that the movie "Unofficial Operation," starring actors Ha Jung-woo and Ju Ji-hoon, will be released on August 2.

"Unofficial Operation" is a buddy action film about diplomat Min-jun, who sets off to Lebanon to rescue a missing colleague, and a local taxi driver Pansu. Set in Lebanon in 1987, it showcases a survival action story of their struggle.

Ha Jung-woo plays a gritty, no-hope diplomat with nothing but guts. He volunteers for an unofficial operation to rescue a missing diplomat colleague under the condition of being assigned to the U.S. and heads alone to war-torn Lebanon. Ju Ji-hoon portrays a Korean taxi driver who is fluent in Arabic and knows the roads well but has a strong con artist streak.

The film is directed by Kim Seong-hoon, who also directed "A Hard Day" (2014), "Tunnel" (2016), and the Netflix series "Kingdom" (2019?2021).

With this, "Unofficial Operation" will be released in theaters on the same day as the sci-fi film "The Moon," directed by double ten-million viewer director Kim Yong-hwa and starring actors Seol Kyung-gu and Do Kyung-soo.
