Actor Kim Sung-chul is expected to once again show off overwhelming acting that transcends good and evil by transforming into a mysterious killer in the movie ‘Breakthrough’. ​

‘Breakthrough’, which will be released on May 1st, depicts an intense confrontation between Jo-gak, a legendary killer who has been active in an organization that deals with cockroach-like humans for 40 years, and the mysterious killer Tou who has chased him all his life.

Kim Sung-chul, who has built a solid filmography by presenting a wide spectrum of characters that go beyond good and evil, takes on the role of the mysterious killer Tou with even deeper immersion in this film and challenges killer action, drawing attention.

Tou is a character who becomes a killer to find the legendary killer Jo-gak (Lee Hye-young), and after chasing her for 20 years, he encounters Jo-gak at Shinsung Quarantine. Kim Sung-chul shows both the appearance of a ruthless killer and his inexplicable feelings toward Jo-gak, making viewers curious about the relationship between the two killers that is so entangled. As director Min Kyu-dong said, “Bullfight exists to kill the sculpture, but at the same time, he is a character who cannot exist without the sculpture,” attention is focused on the character that Kim Sung-chul will portray.

Kim Sung-chul also explained, “Bullfight is a character that will express a lot of tenacity and solidity. It is a character that is rough but delicate, cold but hot,” raising expectations for the complex and delicate bullfight character that he will create in his own way.
