Lee Byung Hun's film The Insiders 내부자들 showcase in November.

Actors Lee Byung Hun and Jo Seung Woo are in the new film The Insiders (내부자들) directed by PD Woo Min Ho and distributed by Showbox Films. The new film is scheduled to be released in local cinemas in November 2015.


The Insiders film is a crime movie depicting loyalty and betrayal of the insiders moving within the Republic of South Korea society. It is adapted from the webtoon by the original cartoonist Yoon Tae Ho who is famed for his works such as Moss and Misaeng (which was also turned into tVN's hit drama).

The Insiders has attracted the attention in two ways. Written by original author Yoon Tae Ho, played by great actors such as Bae Yoon Shik, Lee Byung Hun and Jo Seung Woo.
Lee plays as the politics dude Ahn Sang Gu supporting all the way the editor Kang Hee and potential Presidential candidate Jang Pil Woo.

Jo Seung Woo then plays the role of the brilliant prosecutor Woo Jang Hoon who investigates the backdoor relationship of Jang and his sponsors who made him to the top ranks. However Jang Hoon starts to realize that Ahn Sang Gu actually has a real motive behind the support he has given to the two people- it's vengeance. 

Ever since Lee's scandal has been out in the news, he has a tarnished image and kept in low profile along with his wife Lee Min Jung who has just given birth. His sageuk film Memories of the Sword 협녀: 칼의 기억 has suffered losses with the low attendance of viewers at the cinemas. 

Whether The Insiders will pick up again and revive Lee's career to the peak...we have to wait and see the response from the public viewers and netizens.
