Director Byun Sung-hyun will reunite with actor Seol Kyung-gu for the fourth time with the next film 'Good News'.

Netflix announced on the 27th that it will produce the next film 'Good News' directed by Byun Sung-hyun of 'Gil Bok-soon', which was invited to the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival Special Section and was recognized for its cinematic quality and loved by viewers all over the world.

'Good News' is a film about the suspicious operation of people gathered in 1970 to land a hijacked plane at all costs. It is the second film in which director Byun Sung-hyun and Netflix will work together, and attention is being paid to what new work will be created this time after 'Gil Bok-soon'.



Director Byun Sung-hyun, who won the Baeksang Arts Awards and the Daejong Award for Best Director for his portrayal of the relationship between loyalty and doubt in a stylish way in the Bad Guys' World' (hereinafter referred to as 'Buldang'), was invited to the 70th Cannes International Film Festival's Midnight Screening in the Non-competitive category and was praised for 'Kingmaker'Most Sophisticated Political Noir'. His cinematic imagination, which has captivated audiences with works of various genres, unfolds this time as an immersive story of the number of characters engaged in secret operations over the hijacking of an airliner in 1970, conflicts, and ever-changing relationships.

The casting is also intense. Seol Kyung-gu, who worked as a life character like a customized dress from 'Buldang' to 'Kingmaker' and 'Gil Bok-soon', will work with director Byun Sung-hyun with his fourth work. Seol Kyung-gu, who played the role of prime minister who is willing to put blood on his hands to liquidate corrupt political power in the Netflix series 'Dolpung', shows off another transformation by decomposing into a solver who shows up whenever necessary and solves cases, although his identity is unknown in 'Good News'. The new person to be created by director Byun Sung-hyun and Seol Kyung-gu, who shine more when they are together, is one of the biggest reasons to expect 'Good News'.



On top of that, actor Hong Kyung, who is drawing the most attention these days, plays the role of a lieutenant in the Air Force who is put into a secret operation, showing his unique soft yet powerful charm. He is expected to surprise viewers around the world with his never-before-seen face, as he perfectly digested three-dimensional characters in each of his works, such as `Weak Hero Class 1', `evil ```````````````````````````````.

Actor Ryu Seung-beom, who has an unrivaled presence, plays the role of a government officer who controls the command of all operations. Having shown an aura that overwhelms viewers with Frank in the series 'Moving', he is expected to add a sense of immersion and reality to the play with his unique realistic life acting and charisma. The movie 'Good News' is more anticipated with explosive acting synergy that will be presented by an intense and fresh combination of Seol Kyung-gu, Hong Kyung, and Ryu Seung-beom.
