2nd Korean Warner Bros Production Features AN So-hui

Following their smash hit The Age of Shadows, from director KIM Jee-woon, Warner Brothers is gearing up for the release of their second Korean production Single Rider. Featuring LEE Byung-hun and KONG Hyo-jin, the thriller is the debut of director LEE Joo-young and will bow domestically on February 23rd.

LEE plays a company worker who becomes a central figure in a scandal and suddenly disappears. KONG plays an ex-violinist living in Australia with her son, while AN So-hui rounds out the cast as a university student spending her time in Australia on a working holiday visa.

LEE’s role echoes the one he is playing in his current hit Master, where he played the head of a fraudulent company who goes on the run and winds up in the Philippines. The star also appeared in a small role in The Age of Shadows and has received several awards this year for his role in last fall’s political thriller Inside Men.

Active both on the big and small screen, KONG played alongside UHM Ji-won in the recent thriller MISSING. AN, a former member of the popular K-pop group Wonder Girls, was among the supporting cast of this year’s breakout hit TRAIN TO BUSAN.

Beyond Single Rider, Warner Brothers will also launch the in-production thriller V.I.P. next year from New World (2013) director PARK Hoon-jung.
