Won Bin returns as the man from nowhere

Won Bin

Won Bin will soon return to the screen in his first role since his appearance in last year’s award-winning film “Mother.”

In the new film, “Ajeossi” (“The Man from Nowhere”), Won Bin plays Cha Tae-sik, a desolate man who has cut himself off from the world. When his only friend So-mi, the girl next door who refers to him as “ajeossi” (uncle), is kidnapped, Tae-sik decides to end his isolation and return to the real world.

Child actress Kim Sae-ron, who starred in the award-winning film “A Brand New Life” (2009) will also appear in this action-packed film, which is directed by Lee Jeong-beom. Lee made noir film “Cruel Winter Blues” in 2006, earning rave reviews from critics. The film is currently in production and scheduled for release in August.
