For our first Members’ Free Film Night, The Korea Society and CJ Entertainment are pleased to invite our members to an Exclusive Advanced Screening of My Way. Directed by Kang Je-Kyu, and starring Jang Dong-gun, Joe Odagiri, and Fan Bingbing, the film tells the story of two bitter marathon-running rivals, Korean native Kim Jun-shik and Japanese aristocrat Tatsuo Hasegawa, who find themselves in the Japanese army fighting the Chinese and Soviets. After both are taken prisoner by the Soviets, their mutual hatred and mistrust boils over into a feud that is only stopped by the horror of the war. Forced to fight for the Soviets, the two eventually rely on each other for survival, making it to Germany, where they are, in turn, separated and forced to fight for the Nazis. They meet again at Normandy Beach, both unlikely survivors, bonded by history as they struggle to survive one more terrible battle as the Allies arrive on D-Day.
A Q&A with director Kang Je-Kyu and film critic Jeffrey Lyons will immediately follow the screening.
