Kikwang Lee Debuts on the Silver Screen with ‘I Kill You’
Exploring a New Dimension in Action Drama
The Anticipated Silver Screen Debut
Renowned for his dynamic performances, Kikwang Lee, a member of the popular K-pop group Highlight, is set to make his big-screen debut with the hard-boiled action drama ‘I Kill You.’ Premiering at the 29th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN), this film marks a new milestone in Kikwang’s career.
While Kikwang Lee has already captivated audiences with his roles in various TV dramas, the transition to cinema offers a fresh platform for demonstrating his versatility. Teaming up with filmmaker Yoo Ha, known for his signature touch in action genres, Kikwang promises an electrifying performance that will leave a lasting imprint on the audience.
A Synopsis of the Plot
‘I Kill You’ is not just another action film; it’s a moody piece underscored by adrenaline-charged sequences. Kikwang Lee plays Hojoong, a character that is deceptively ‘perfect’ on the outside but harbors ambitious inner demons. Living in the shadow of his half-sibling, Jiyeon (played by actress Jiyoung Kang), Hojoong battles feelings of inadequacy while striving to seize control of his family’s legacy.
This role represents a significant leap for Kikwang, who flawlessly embodies the complexity of Hojoong’s character through an unexpected yet powerful transformation.
Future Prospects and Appearances
Fans of Highlight will also get to see Kikwang rocking the stage at several concerts post-BIFAN. The group has announced their ‘RIDE OR DIE’ concert tour, set to kick off this July in Seoul. They’ll tour various Asian cities, including Taipei, Macau, Manila, Tokyo, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur, offering more chances for fans to see Kikwang in action.
In conjunction, ‘I Kill You’ is expected to launch on OTT platforms this summer, allowing an international audience to experience Kikwang’s magnetic screen presence firsthand. His ongoing endeavors in both acting and music reflect his multifaceted talents and aspiration to expand his influence globally.
