LEE Beom-su also Joins Korean War Film Cast
Following the announcement that global star Liam Neeson would be appearing as General Douglas MacArthur in the Korean War film
Operation Chromite, local stars
LEE Jung-jae and
LEE Beom-su have confirmed their participation following rumors that began circulating in August. The LEEs previously worked together on
City of The Rising Sun (1999) and
Oh! Brothers (2003).
Assassination star LEE Jung-jae will play a South Korean navy lieutenant whose role was central to changing the tide of the Korean War, while LEE Beom-su of last summer’s
The Divine Move will feature as an elite Soviet-trained North Korean officer. The film will chronicle the Battle of Incheon, which was codenamed “Operation Chromite”, during which a United Nations military operation led by General MacArthur led to a change in the outcome of the Korean War.
Operation Chromite will also depict the “X-ray Operation” and the “Palmido Intelligence Operation” which led up to the decisive conflict.
