Actor Lee Byung-hun will attend a press conference on Oct. 8 to promote his new film “Insiders.”

Lee and other cast members -- Jo Seung-woo and Baek Yoon-shik -- are scheduled to show up for the event, together with director Woo Min-ho and screenwriter Yoon Tae-ho.

Lee last made a public appearance in Korea in July when he took part in a press event to promote the film “Memories of the Sword.”

Since then, he has been in the U.S. to shoot for a Hollywood production, “The Magnificent Seven.”

Lee is yet to fully recover his public image after he was embroiled in a scandal involving younger actresses while his wife, actress Lee Min-jung, was carrying his baby.

“Insiders” is a criminal-drama film portraying the loyalty and betrayal among the movers and shakers of South Korean society. The movie is expected to release in November.
