Representing the K-action genre, Ma Dong-seok is drawing attention as he embarks on a new challenge with the Korean-style action hero film 'Twelve' (directed by Gang Dae-kyu and Han Yun-sun, planned/produced by STUDIO X+U, produced by Contents G, Big Punch Pictures, Nova Film, and co-produced by The Contents ON and Monster Union).
Ma Dong-seok's action, which always provides a refreshing and exhilarating experience to the public, has expanded beyond Korea to establish itself as an unprecedented K-action signature. His powerful action was firmly etched in the zombie apocalypse world of 'Train to Busan.' The bare-handed domination of zombies struck the screen powerfully. Having given birth to the irreplaceable monster detective character 'Ma Seok-do' in the now solid franchise series 'The Outlaws,' he delivered a thrilling satisfaction akin to soda with heavy and impactful action, establishing the trust in Ma Dong-seok's action genre. Ma Dong-seok does not stop here, demonstrating a distinctive movement that continues to challenge the limits of Korean action films by attempting various genre variations.
'Wasteland,' depicting the fiery struggle of those living in a lawless world after the apocalypse, adds an action blockbuster element to the post-apocalyptic genre. It showcased not only Ma Dong-seok's tremendous strength but also action using guns and knives, providing various spectacles. 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' features a team of darkness with special abilities who eliminate evil forces in a city thrown into chaos by a group that worships evil, presenting a fresh exorcism action infused with fantasy elements against demons and evil worshippers.
Ma Dong-seok, who is constantly challenging himself with his own signature action, returns this time with the Korean-style hero action series 'Twelve.' The series, inspired by the Twelve Heavenly Spirits of the East, depicts the battles of 12 angels who live in human form to protect humanity against the forces of evil. Ma Dong-seok becomes an angel with the powers of the Twelve Heavenly Spirits, showcasing overwhelming strength and distinctive action once again. Portraying 'Taesan,' the leader of the 12 angels symbolizing the tiger, Ma Dong-seok reveals powerful fists. His fists, which spit fire, crush the evil forces trying to engulf the world.
In a vast worldview encompassing both the ancient and modern eras, the intense and spectacular action led by the angel heroes led by Ma Dong-seok, along with a perfectly synergistic team play, further heightens expectations for the birth of Ma Dong-seok's K-hero film. Confirmed to air simultaneously on Disney+ and KBS 2TV mini-series on Saturday, Aug. 23.
