Actor Koo Kyo-hwan transforms into a unique pursuer. The film "Escape" (directed by Lee Jong-pil) released character stills on the 2nd. Koo Kyo-hwan takes on the role of Ri Hyun-sang, an officer in the North Korean Security Department. The visuals are intense.

Ri Hyun-sang, played by Koo, was a promising pianist who studied in Russia. However, he accepted reality and fulfilled his duties as an officer. He relentlessly chases after Gyu-nam (played by Lee Je-hoon), who is attempting to escape to freedom. He uses every means and method to pursue him, putting all his strength into the chase until the final moment.

A key point of interest is the hidden backstory: Hyun-sang and Gyu-nam have a connection from their childhood. The relationship with Sun-woo Min (played by Song Kang) also adds to the intrigue.

A multifaceted character is depicted. Koo Kyo-hwan drives the narrative with restrained yet explosive energy, expressing the conflicted emotions of Hyun-sang with just his facial expressions.

A representative said, "Koo Kyo-hwan has consistently created unique characters with a wide acting spectrum and original character approaches in each of his works." They added, "Look forward to the thrilling chase action and the whirlwind of complex inner emotions Koo will showcase through Hyun-sang."

Meanwhile, "Escape" is a life-and-death chase between North Korean soldier Gyu-nam, who flees for tomorrow, and Hyun-sang, who pursues to protect today. It will be released on the 3rd.
