Actor Hong Kyung's ambitious transformation draws attention.
The Netflix film Good News, which will be released on the 17th, is a film that depicts a suspicious operation by a group of people who gathered in 1970 to do whatever it takes to force a hijacked plane to land.
It was previously officially invited to the Special Presentations section of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, and not only at the Toronto International Film Festival but also after the screening at the 30th Busan International Film Festival it has garnered warm reviews from audiences and critics, arousing curiosity.
In the film, Hong Kyung plays elite Air Force Lieutenant Seo Go-myung. As can be seen from the name Gomyung, he has ambition and a thirst for advancement, and because of his great desire for recognition he is tricked into a secret operation by an enigmatic fixer, a person surnamed Sul (played by Sul KyungGu).
What makes Hong Kyung's Seo Go-myung anticipated is his acting transformation. Through various previous works he left a strong impression with his distinctive delicate and intense performances, but his provocative charm in the radical transformation into an ambitious man is expected to deliver a fresh shock to the public's memory.
Amid unpredictable developments, Hong Kyung's role as a key player is also one of the expected highlights. From suffocating psychological warfare to nerve-rattling battles of wits, Hong Kyung's new face, which will create taut tension between truth and lies and manipulate the film's momentum, is also raising many questions.

Hong Kyung is expected to deftly portray Seo Go-myung's human side, who constantly agonizes and struggles at the center of the incident, and the shifting emotional lines within. Beyond a living, breathing character, attention is already focused on what impact Hong Kyung's boldness and solemnity, which will roam the 1970s without restraint, will have on Good News.
