CJ Entertainment's highly anticipated espionage film, "The Spy Gone North" ("Gongjak"), releases in Los Angeles and Buena Park on August 10, followed by a wider release in cities across the U.S. and Canada on August 17. Inspired by a compelling true story, Director Yoon Jong-bin ("KUNDO : Age of the Rampant", "Nameless Gangster") delivers a gripping, fact-based spy saga about a loyal South Korean agent caught in the political vortex plotted by the ruling classes of two Koreas.
 
In 1993 Korea, the only country where the Cold War continues, tensions surrounding the development of nuclear weapons escalate. Seok-young Park, an army major in the South Korea military intelligence with the code name 'Black Venus' is assigned a mission to infiltrate the North Korean nuclear facility. Seok-young disguises himself as a South Korean businessman working on a collaborative project with North Korea, and approaches Myung-woon Lee, a North Korean high official based in Beijing. After laying down groundwork for years, Seok-young finally manages to win the North Korean ruling class' trust and secure a contract for joint advertising. However, Seok-young soon discovers that both North and South Korea are making secret deals for their own interests in the 1998 South Korean presidential election.
 
"The Spy Gone North" stars Hwang Jung-min, Lee Sung-min, Cho Jin-woong, and Ju Ji-hoon. It was featured in the Midnight section of the 71st Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.
