SONG Joong-ki as “PARK Mu-young”
At first the somewhat reclusive PARK Mu-young looks to be an ordinary laborer like the rest of the Koreans on Battleship Island. But soon it becomes clear that there is something different about him. Trained by U.S. intelligence officers (OSS), Mu-young is an operative for the Korean independence movement who has been sent to Hashima on a covert mission. Although originally given the task of bringing the independence leader safely off the island, he eventually resolves that every last one of the Koreans must escape.
The unprecedented global success of the TV drama DESCENDANTS OF THE SUN has turned SONG Joong-ki into one of the most prominent celebrities of the present day, but his talent and charisma have been on display for years. THE BATTLESHIP ISLAND marks his 5-year return to the big screen, following the completion of his military service and a focus on Korean television series. Compared to his last film appearance in the box office hit A WEREWOLF BOY, viewers will be able to see an entirely different side of actor SONG in this dynamic new role.
