Following 'Hansan: Appearance of the Dragon', actor Kim Seong-gyu will stand by Admiral Yi Sun-sin's side in 'Noryang: Sea of Death'.
Kim Seong-gyu played the role of an anti-Japanese military warrant officer in last summer's top box office hit, 'Hansan: Rise of the Dragon' (hereinafter referred to as 'Hansan'). He not only shaved his head, but also showed off Japanese archaism and slurred Korean, captivating the audience with his outstanding performance. Kim Seong-gyu, who left such a strong impression in 'Hansan', will once again play an active role as a warrant officer in 'Noryang: Sea of Death (hereinafter 'Noryang'), which will be the finale of Admiral Yi Sun-sin's film trilogy.
In ‘Hansan’, the warrant officer played by Kim Seong-gyu is captured in Joseon as a prisoner of the Japanese army during the war and asks Yi Sun-sin, “What is this war for?” To which he responds, “It is a fight between righteousness and injustice,” it is not the Japanese army, but the anti-Japanese army. He left an impact as a character who decides to become a character. Junsa made a big impact by showing the message of 'the war between righteousness and unrighteousness' that was said in the movie 'Hansan', and Kim Seong-gyu's deep passionate performance made the narrative of the play more solid and solid. drew favorable reviews.
Kim Seong-gyu also plays an active role as a warrant officer in ‘Noryang’. He participates in the war as a Joseon soldier, not a Japanese soldier, alongside Kim Yun-seok, who plays Yi Sun-sin, and is expected to leave a strong impression with his deeper faith in Yi Sun-sin. From 'Hansan' to 'Noryang', much attention is focused on Kim Seong-gyu, who will show an indispensable presence as Junsa, a character who carries the message of 'fight of righteousness' that runs through the two works.
Meanwhile, the movie 'Noryang: Sea of Death' starring Kim Seong-gyu will be released in theaters nationwide on the 20th.
