Joint Security Area (Gongdong gyeongbi guyeok JSA)
Continuing the Korean Film Nights tradition is the Consul General’s Choice! The Honorable Young-ho Jung, Consul General of the Republic of Korea, has chosen an early Park Chan-wook thriller to mark the 70th anniversary of the Korea/USA Alliance.
When gunfire breaks out in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, two North Korean soldiers are killed (including Song Kang-ho from Parasite). However, a wounded South Korean soldier (Lee Byung-hun from I Saw the Devil) flees to safety. With the tenuous peace at risk, a neutral team of investigators—led by Swiss Army Major Sophie Jean (Lee Yeong-ae, Lady Vengeance)—is dispatched to determine what really happened.
Generous support has been provided by the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Houston.
