Shin Hyun-joon Dives Into a Doppelganger Comedy with “Wanted”: Stills Show Off a Bold 1-Person, 2-Roles Challenge

〈Wanted〉, set to hit theaters in June, has unveiled stills highlighting actor Shin Hyun-joon’s daring 1-person, 2-roles performance.

In 〈Wanted〉, Shin Hyun-joon plays Hyun-joon, an ordinary citizen who gets pulled into an unexpected situation when a criminal named Cheol-gu turns out to look exactly like him. Teaming up with the police, they plunge into a fast-moving chase that leaves both of them being pursued and doing the pursuing—while Shin Hyun-joon also portrays Cheol-gu, who shares his face.

With this film, Shin Hyun-joon is taking on the 1-person, 2-roles challenge for the first time since his debut. Talking about his first attempt at playing two roles, he said with a grin, “It was 1-person, 2-roles—and there was a lot of action footage, too. So I thought I should’ve been paid for two people.” The word on set is that he delivered dimensional, three-dimensional performances throughout.

〈Wanted〉, where you can see Shin Hyun-joon’s 1-person, 2-roles performance, will open in theaters this coming June. Along with Shin Hyun-joon, Kim Byung-man, Regina Ray, and more are set to appear.
