Korean Assassin Thriller COMMITMENT Comes To The U.S. This December
Following previous reports in October that director Park Hong-soo‘s latest Korean action thriller, Commitment, was picked up for North American distribution, Well Go USA has a new minute-long trailer for the film set for a limited theatrical release on December 6 in select cities. Formerly titled The Alumni, Commitment stars Korean hip hop artist and Big Bang frontman Choi Seung-hyun (a.k.a.

After his father’s botched espionage mission, North Korean Myung-hoon and his young sister Hye-in are sent to a labor prison camp. In order to save his sister’s life, Myung-hoon volunteers to become a spy and infiltrates to the South as a teenage defector. While attending high school as an ordinary student in the South, he meets another girl named Hye-in, and he comes to rescue her when she comes under attack. South Korean Intelligence soon discovers of Myung-hoon’s activities and begins tracking him, all the while his own government sends a vicious assassin to eliminate him.
