The movie 'The Divine Band' (directed by Kim Hyung-hyup) has released three press stills showcasing the diverse charm of actor Park Si-hoo, who is making his return to the screen after 10 years.
The film 'The Divine Band' depicts a story where a fake praise group is created in North Korea for the purpose of earning foreign currency. In this movie, Park Si-hoo plays the role of 'Park Kyo-soon', a North Korean security officer who receives an absurd order to form a fake praise group to evade sanctions against North Korea.
The stills released this time immediately capture attention with Park Si-hoo perfectly transformed into the protagonist 'Park Kyo-soon'. First, a still featuring him in military uniform against a backdrop of red curtains, with a pained expression, hints at the complex inner turmoil of a cold security officer who is simultaneously experiencing confusion in the face of unpredictable operations, sparking curiosity.
Next, a still of him standing in sunglasses against a vast snowy landscape exudes the cold charisma and overwhelming aura of a North Korean elite officer. This not only gives a glimpse into the scale of the film, which was completed through overseas locations in Mongolia and Hungary, but also foreshadows the challenging journey of the operation he must lead.
Finally, a still of him in a pristine white uniform, gazing forward and saluting, creates a completely different atmosphere from the previous two stills, maximizing curiosity. In this way, Park Si-hoo, who has shown perfect character absorption that makes his 10-year return to the screen seem insignificant, will portray the ironic situation and inner conflict of a character who tortured underground believers yesterday but must lead a praise group today, delivering both laughter and tears to the audience with his delicate performance.
'The Divine Band' is set to be released in December.
