Lee Jong Suk returns to the big screen through the movie V. I. P. where he will be playing the role of Kim Gwang-il, a son of a high profile North Korean official.
V. I. P. is Lee Jong Suk's first villain role. His character is involved in serial murder cases and is in hot pursuit by the joint forces of the North and South Korea Intelligence Officers and the Interpol.
V. I. P. may be his first villain role but it is not the first time that he will portray a North Korean character.

We have seen how effective Lee Jong Suk is in portraying a North Korean character from his past projects. There is no doubt that he will again deliver a wonderful performance in V. I. P. as he challenge himself being a villain.
V. I. P. is set to be released on August 2017.
