[NEWS] Lee Byung Hun’s first historical film announces final title


The title of actor Lee Byung Hun’s first historical film has been announced.

On June 1st, movie distributing agency CJ E&M announced that the movie title ‘King of Chosun‘ will be changed to ‘Gwanghae: The Man Who Became King.’ The officials said this decision was made because “the story focuses on the episodes that a low class man goes through to become the king of the country.”

In the movie, Lee Byung Hun will play Ha Sun, a man of low class who will be hired as a double for the sick king Gwanghae due to their identical look.

Gwanghae: The Man Who Became King’ also starring Ryu Seung Ryong, Han Hyo Joo, Kim Myung Gon and Kim In Kwon.
