The box-office hit Korean comedy action film 'The Roundup' features actor Don Lee, the same guy who appeared in 'Eternals' and 'Train to Busan.'

Since premiering in Korea in May 2022, the homegrown action comedy The Roundup has become Korea's biggest draw since the pandemic began, attracting over 2 million moviegoers on its first weekend.

For three consecutive weekends, The Roundup continued to set records, becoming the first Korean film since 2019 to reach more than 9 million moviegoers.

This month, the blockbuster Korean comedy action film is coming to the Philippines, and is expected to hit SM Cinemas nationwide on June 22, 2022.

Lee Sang-yong's The Roundup is a red-blooded, ultra-violent, and riotously entertaining follow-up to his 2017's The Outlaws. Ma Dong-seok, aka Don Lee, reprises his role as the heavyweight law enforcer, Ma Seok-do, who travels to Vietnam to extradite a petty criminal, only to pick up the trail of a ferocious killer named Kang Hae-sang, played by Sukku Son.

Helping Ma Seok-do carry out his mission are Jeon Il-man (Choi Gwi-hwa), Oh Dong-gyun (Heo Dong- won) and Kang Hong-seok (Ha Jun), and the rookie Kim Sang-hoon (Jung Jae-kwang). Actor Park Ji-hwan also joins the group as the comic relief Jang Yi-soo.

The Philippine screening of the box-office Korean action film The Roundup would not have been possible without the efforts of Grace Lee, CEO of the content production and distribution company, Glimmer Inc.
