KIM Sang-kyung and KIM Ok-vin Headline Military Thriller
Military court thriller The Discloser, the final work of filmmaker HONG Ki-seon who passed away shortly after completing production, will be released theatrically in January next year. The film, which stars KIM Sang-kyung and KIM Ok-vin, initially premiered during a retrospective of Director HONG’s work screened at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BiFan) in July.
KIM Sang-kyung stars as an investigator in the army who looks into a military cover-up when an air force pilot winds up in a coma following an unexpected test flight crash.
Prior to The Discloser, HONG’s most recent work had been Where the Truth Lies in 2009, a film that chronicled an infamous murder committed by an American soldier at a fast food restaurant in the Itaewon neighborhood in 1997. HONG passed away in December last year, six days after principal photography wrapped on The Discloser.
