V.I.P.

A North Korean senior official's son, Kim Gwang-il, is suspected of carrying out a string of killings that stretch across several countries. As the victims mount, South Korean and North Korean authorities, along with Interpol, each open their own pursuit of the suspect, and their competing investigations become part of the story. On the South Korean side, detective Chae Yi-do, previously taken off duty for overstepping his authority but known for closing his cases, is assigned to the murders in Seoul.

The film is written and directed by Park Hoon-jung, his third feature after New World (2013) and The Tiger (2015), and later followed by The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion (2018), Night in Paradise (2020), The Witch: Part 2. The Other One (2022), The Childe (2023) and Tristes Tropiques (2025). Kim Myung-min plays Chae Yi-do, with Jang Dong-gun as Park Jae-hyuk, Park Hee-soon as Lee Dae-bum and Lee Jong-suk as Kim Gwang-il; Peter Stormare appears as Paul, and Chung Ye-jin plays a character credited as Girl. The production involved Warner Bros. Pictures, Finecut, Peppermint&company and Goldmoon Film, and runs 128 minutes.
