High Kicks and Hijinks: Kim Woo-bin to Star in Action-Comedy Film ‘Officer Black Belt’

Officer Black Belt is a riveting action-comedy film that masterfully intertwines the lives of a probation officer and a ‘martial arts officer’, as they fight crime in their own special and relentless ways. The film is directed by Jason Kim of Netflix series Bloodhounds, which reached the Global Top 10 TV (Non-English) list in 83 countries.

In this upcoming film, top star Kim Woo-bin (from Black Knight) portrays the unique character of a martial arts prodigy who has an impressive total of nine dans (meaning ranks) in Taekwondo, Kendo, and Judo. This ordinary yet extraordinary young man with a knack for crime detection is expected to enthrall audiences with his blend of charm and martial prowess.

The story kicks off with Kim Woo-bin’s character saving a ‘martial arts officer’ from a criminal’s assault. That’s an officer who partners with a probation officer solely for physically dangerous situations. As a result of this brave rescue, Kim Woo-bin’s character is made a temporary ‘martial arts officer’ for five weeks.

As a dedicated probation officer, Kim Sung-kyun’s character recognizes the exceptional talents of Kim Woo-bin’s character and suggests he take on a permanent role as a ‘martial arts officer’, marking the start of this duo’s crime-fighting adventures.

Officer Black Belt delves into the exciting realm of officers who keep the community safe through their camaraderie and special crime-busting skills. This unique action-comedy concept will be directed by Jason Kim, the director of Midnight Runners, and the recent hit series Bloodhounds.

Officer Black Belt will be released exclusively on Netflix.
