Lee Byung-hun, best known for Netflix’s “Squid Game” and Park Chan-wook’s “No Other Choice,” has signed on to star in “Nambeol” (working title), a new Korean martial arts action film. Variety and Deadline both report that the project is produced by Hive Media Corp. and will feature Lee Byung-hun in the lead role. The films add that “Nambeol” is set during the early Joseon Dynasty and is described as a hard-boiled martial arts story.
