Reports say the film Confidential Assignment is gearing up to return with a new installment.
On the 1st, multiple outlets reported that the third entry of Confidential Assignment, led by Hyun Bin and Yoo Hae-jin, is in preparation. Sources said, "The script is nearly finished, and the team is coordinating the actors' schedules."
Hyun Bin, Yoo Hae-jin, and Im Yoon-ah — who shined in 'Confidential Assignment' and 'Confidential Assignment 2: International' — are reportedly on the shortlist for lead roles. However, as casting is still underway, nothing has been finalized and their participation remains unconfirmed.
Meanwhile, Confidential Assignment is a buddy-cop film about North Korean detective Rim Cheol-ryeong (played by Hyun Bin) and South Korean detective Kang Jin-tae (played by Yoo Hae-jin) teaming up on a joint investigation. One of JK Film's signature hits, the 2017 original drew about 7,810,000 moviegoers, while Confidential Assignment 2: International attracted around 6,980,000 in 2022.
