Korean-American actor Lee Ki-hong said the opportunity to act alongside Choi Min-sik was one of his key reasons for joining the cast of upcoming political thriller “Special Citizen.”
“The fact that I could act in the same scene with him was one of the biggest reasons I wanted to participate (in the film),” he said Tuesday. “I also wanted to learn from many of Korea’s veteran actors.”
Lee, who starred in the Hollywood sci-fi film “The Maze Runner” in 2014, is set to make his first Korean film appearance in “Special Citizen,” which hits local theaters April 26.
