The highly anticipated film 'No Choice' is set to engage directly with its audience through a series of special Guest Visits (GV) sessions.

Garnering critical acclaim for its thrilling narrative and the remarkable synergy among its cast, 'No Choice' will host two consecutive GV events on September 24th and October 1st, promising an engaging experience for moviegoers.

The film centers on 'Man-soo' (played by Lee Byung-hun), a man whose life satisfaction shatters after an unexpected dismissal from his job. The story follows his intense battle to protect his home, his family, and his future prospects.

'No Choice' has already dominated the box office, securing the top spot in pre-sale tickets for its opening week, indicating a strong performance during the upcoming golden holiday period.

The first GV, moderated by writer Kim Se-yoon, will take place after the screening at Lotte Cinema World Tower on September 24th at 7:40 PM. Director Park Chan-wook, along with actors Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, and Park Hee-soon, will share exclusive behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the film.

Following this, the second GV will be held at CGV Yeongdeungpo on October 1st at 6:50 PM. Cinema Today's editor Kim Hye-ri will host this session, featuring director Park Chan-wook alongside actors Lee Sung-min and Yeom Hye-ran. Discussions will delve into the unique chemistry between the on-screen couple, the creative process behind the film, and a deeper exploration of 'No Choice's' narrative.

These GV events are expected to offer audiences a richer understanding of the film, allowing them to experience its world from multiple perspectives. 'No Choice,' already a sensation through word-of-mouth, is captivating the cinematic landscape with its blend of compelling performances, dramatic plot, stunning visuals, solid direction, and a touch of black comedy.

Lee Byung-hun, a veteran actor, debuted in 1991 and has since showcased an impressive range across various genres. He has also made a significant impact in Hollywood, starring in films like 'G.I. Joe,' 'Terminator Genisys,' and 'The Magnificent Seven.' He continues to be recognized as one of South Korea's leading actors.
