No Other Choice (director Park Chan-wook, distributed by CJ ENM, produced by Moho Film·CJ ENM Studios) portrays the story of office worker Mansu (Lee Byung-hun), who felt his life was so satisfying he could say "he had achieved everything," and after being abruptly fired, prepares his own war toward reemployment to protect his wife and two children and to hold on to the home he struggled to secure.
The film No Other Choice, receiving intense attention at home and abroad, continues a promotional relay ahead of its release.
First, tomorrow, Sept. 20 (Sat) at 9 a.m., Lee Byung-hun, Lee Sung-min and Yeom Hye-ran will appear on YouTube's DdeunDdeun in the "Pinggego" segment.
