Lee Jong-suk will star as a North Korean villain in the upcoming film “V.I.P,” which is set to hit local theaters on Aug. 24.

“It’s my first villain role, so I did a lot of research watching a lot of different films before shooting.

“Unlike conventional serial killer characters who put a lot of effort into their expressions, I wanted it to be as effortless as possible,” he added.

The film is helmed by director Park Hoon-jung. It stars Jang Dong-gun and Kim Myung-min.
