Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA, 31 March 2017 – Multi-talented actor JI Chang-wook is set
to grace Malaysian shores next week for the first time ever on 8 April 2017, to
discuss his new action crime film, Fabricated City. This movie is proudly presented
by tvN Movies, World’s First & Only Korean Blockbuster movie channel, which will be
launched in Malaysia via HyppTV (CH 222) on 1 April 2017.
Helmed by a multiple award-winning director PARK Kwang-hyun, Fabricated City
talks about a hardcore gamer Kwon Yu (JI Chang-wook), who spends most of his time
in an Internet café - due to chronic unemployment - after being booted out of the
national Taekwondo team for assaulting a teammate. Kwon’s life takes an
unexpected dip following an abrupt arrestment and life imprisonment for sexually
assaulting and murdering a minor, which supposedly happened after he returned an
abandoned cell phone to a mysterious female caller. With the help of his virtual
teammates, they uncover a massive plot to a mysterious underworld organization
and it is up to Kwon and his allies to combine forces to prove his innocence.
“When I’m standing on the edge of the world, who will hold my hand? Can a group of
powerless people come together to fight against a mighty foe? This was the message
of hope that I wanted to convey in Fabricated City,” said Director PARK, who wrote
the script based on current socioeconomic inequalities, as portrayed by Kwon and
team who seek retaliation against rich and powerful organizations, out searching for
scapegoats to stand-in for their felonies.
Director PARK’s 2005 seminal feature film ‘Welcome to Dongmakgol’ that combines
reality, fantasy, humanism and humor was a phenomenal hit which brought in more
than 8 million admissions in South Korea.
With regard to his lead actor, a familiar face in top rated Koreans dramas such as The K2
(2016) and Healer (2014), Director PARK said, “JI Chang-wook is extremely capable of
understanding and pulling off believable acting and action sequences. From portraying a
strong male figure to a vulnerable boy, his acting spectrum is very wide.
He’s an adaptable actor”.
Fabricated City also marks JI's feature film debut as lead actor. JI will be in Kuala
Lumpur for the Gala Premiere of Fabricated City, set to be held on 8 April 2017, at
GSC Cinemas, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. Media and invited guests will get the
opportunity to meet and interact with the actor during media conference, as well as
the premiere, within the same day itself.
Fabricated City will be released in nationwide cinemas on 20 April 2017.
