Park Chanwook's New Film "No Other Choice" Starring Lee Byunghun to Be Released in September
Distributor CJ ENM announced on July 22 that director Park Chanwook's new film "No Other Choice" will be released in September.
The film tells the story of Mansu (Lee Byunghun), an office worker who is suddenly laid off and sets out on the path to reemployment in order to protect his family and home. Director Park has described this as "the project I wanted to make the most."
The teaser trailer released that day opens with Mansu's line: "In America, they call getting fired 'getting the axe.' Do you know what they call it in Korea? 'You're out.'"
