Hyun Bin's 'Harbin' surpasses 1 million moviegoers on 2nd day of release
tvN's The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch has been making buzz ever since the confirmation of its release made headlines, and one of the most anticipated things to look forward to is actor Kang Ki Young's stunning transformation as a formidable evil spirit in the K-drama.
In the highly anticipated series, the Extraordinary Attorney Woo actor plays the role of Pil Kwang, an evil spirit who sucks up the powers of the Counters, making him an incredibly powerful predator. With his abilities being his strength, Pil Kwang orchestrates a show of bloodshed and terror, exhibiting a chilling and ruthless demeanor. The intense gaze and sinister smile the actor showcases in the released stills further heighten the anticipation for the riveting showdown between the Counters, armed with upgraded powers, and the formidable new demons they face.
Kang Ki Young's physical transformation for the role is also noteworthy. Sharply dressed in a formal suit and rocking a slicked-back hairstyle with a dark expression on his face, he exudes a sinister aura and has a strong presence, befitting the role of the antagonist he plays.
The production team of the K-drama has great anticipation for Kang Ki Young's performance and trusts his exceptional talent in acting, which he has honed through his work in both dramas and films.
Meanwhile, eyes are also on Cho Byeong Kyu, the actor who plays the lead role of So Moon in the action series. Cho Byeong Kyu temporarily halted his activities following allegations of school violence that emerged after the conclusion of Season 1. While the actor denied the accusations, some doubts still remain unresolved. Whether Cho Byeong Kyu will have the opportunity to address these allegations before the premiere of The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch remains uncertain. It remains to be seen whether tvN will choose to record the press conference or hold it online to block questions and sidestep the controversy or whether they will confront the issue head-on during an offline event.
Don't miss the premiere of The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch on July 29th on Netflix.
