Highly Anticipated Film 'Harbin' Premieres Today with Stunning Battle Stills

The much-anticipated film 'Harbin' (하얼빈), directed by Woo Min-ho (우민호) and distributed by CJ ENM, officially premiered today, December 24, 2024. To celebrate its release, the production team has unveiled intense battle stills that capture the chaotic essence of warfare.

In the newly released images, we see characters An Jung-geun (안중근, played by Hyun Bin), Woo Deok-soon (우덕순, portrayed by Park Jung-min), Kim Sang-hyun (김상현, played by Jo Woo-jin), and Lee Chang-seop (이창섭, played by Lee Dong-wook) engaged in fierce combat, risking their lives in the heat of battle. The realism depicted in these stills is so vivid that it immerses potential viewers into the heart of the action.

The battle scenes in 'Harbin' showcase an overwhelming scale and authenticity, a result of the meticulous planning and creativity of director Woo Min-ho and his team. Notably, the Battle of Shin Asan, where General An Jung-geun and the Korean army achieved a significant victory against Japanese forces, is a focal point of the film. The production team dedicated considerable effort to authentically portray the brutal confrontations of this historical event. Interestingly, during the filming of the Shin Asan battle scenes, an unprecedented snowfall occurred at the domestic filming location, allowing for the capture of genuine snow effects in the movie.

With the expertise of South Korea's leading production team and the natural elements enhancing the on-site production, 'Harbin' promises to deliver an overwhelming cinematic experience to its audience.

Set in 1909, 'Harbin' tells a gripping story of pursuit and suspicion between those heading to Harbin for a singular purpose and those who are in pursuit of them. This film marks another collaboration between director Woo Min-ho and Hive Media Corp (하이브미디어코프), known for their previous work on 'The Outlaws' (내부자들). As a top contender in this winter's box office, 'Harbin' has officially opened on Christmas Eve.
