TIFF 2024: 'Harbin' brings out fans of Korean stars in Toronto
Scores of movie fans waited for hours outside the Toronto premier of "Harbin" on Sunday, hoping to catch a glimpse of Lee Dong-Wook and Hyun Bin, the Korean stars paired for the first time in this historical drama.
Their patience was rewarded with red carpet appearances by both actors, who are identified with the surge in popularity of Korean culture around the world.
"Harbin" is about the small but courageous resistance army which fought to free Korea from Japanese oppressive rule in the early 20th century. The struggle brings the freedom fighters to the city of Harbin in China's frozen northeast, where they carry out a plan to assassinate Japan's first prime minister.
