Harbin is an upcoming South Korean movie starring Hyun Bin, Lee Dong Wook, Jo Woo Jin, and more. The plot is based on the assassination of Japan’s first Prime Minister, Itō Hirobumi, by General Ahn Jung Geun. Initially scheduled for release on Christmas Day 2024, the movie's premiere has been rescheduled.
On December 9, 2024, the production team of Harbin, CJM Entertainment, announced that the film’s release date had been moved up from December 25, 2024, to December 24, 2024. Although the reason for the change was not disclosed, it has been confirmed that the movie will now debut a day earlier.
Set in 1909, during Japan's colonization of Korea, Harbin follows Ahn Jung Geun, the sole survivor of a bloody battle, as he leads a daring mission to assassinate Itō Hirobumi—a symbol of Japanese oppression. To succeed, Ahn and his comrades must infiltrate Russia, gather resources, and outwit relentless enemies. With escalating risks, relentless pursuit, and their mission on the brink of failure, the film delves into the sacrifices made for Korea’s independence and the high cost of freedom.
Previously, the trailer for the movie had been released, offering a glimpse into the plot. The video opens with Itō Hirobumi’s provocative remarks about Korea, immediately igniting tension. It also highlights Ahn Jung Geun’s pivotal decision while capturing the fighters’ intense emotions and internal conflicts. The tension escalates further as Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel Mori Tatsuo relentlessly pursues Ahn Jung Geun, hinting at the formidable challenges the group will face.
Hyun Bin portrays General Ahn Jung Geun, the revered Korean independence activist celebrated for assassinating Itō Hirobumi, Japan's first Prime Minister, in 1909. Meanwhile, Lee Dong Wook takes on the role of independence fighter Lee Chang Seop in Harbin.
The rest of the cast includes Park Jung Min, Jo Woo Jin, Jeon Yeo Been, and Yoo Jae Myung, among others. Together, their characters embark on a mission to Harbin with a singular objective: to eliminate Itō Hirobumi, a key threat to Korea's independence. The movie is both directed and written by Woo Min Ho.
