Hong Kyung Transforms Again in 'Concrete Market' as 'Kim Tae-jin'

Rising star Hong Kyung is set to deliver another explosive performance, embodying the character of 'Kim Tae-jin' in the upcoming film 'Concrete Market'.

Set to release on December 3rd, 'Concrete Market' unfolds in the aftermath of a major earthquake, centering around the 'Hwanggoong Market' within the last remaining apartment building, where survival hinges on desperate transactions.

As 'Kim Tae-jin', a debt collector for the 'Hwanggoong Market' who owes a life debt to the market's powerful figure 'Park Sang-yong', Hong Kyung's character becomes entangled in a perilous deal proposed by an outsider, 'Choi Hee-ro' (played by Lee Jae-in). The narrative will depict his fierce struggle for survival, transitioning from a loyal subordinate to a rebellious and volatile figure.

Hong Kyung first garnered attention after winning the Best New Actor award at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards for his role in the film 'Innocence'. He has since built an impressive filmography, showcasing his versatility in dramas like 'D.P.' and 'Weak Hero Class 1', and films such as 'Seize the Night' and 'Good News', where he portrayed complex characters and even learned sign language and multiple languages for his roles.

Netizens are expressing immense anticipation for Hong Kyung's latest transformation. Comments like, "Is Hong Kyung going to set another career-defining role with this movie?", "His acting range is truly incredible", and "I definitely have to watch this film" flood online forums, showing strong support for his upcoming performance.
