A special preview for the upcoming historical action film "The Swordsman" (literal title) has been released!

Per Soompi, the new drama stars BTOB's Minhyuk, Jang Hyuk, Jung Man Sik, and more. The new film also explores the stories of swordsmen in Joseon during the Ming-Qing transition period. Minhyuk will be making his big-screen debut as Kyeom Sa Bok, the king's bodyguard who fails to protect the king after being attacked by anti-government forces. Feeling guilty for his inability to save the king and perform his duty, he turns his back on the world.

A video of Minhyuk's action scenes was revealed on September 15. Kyeom Sa Bok, in the clip, asks Min Seung Ho (played by Jung Min Sik), "A warrior like you can only do this much?" Then the clip shows off the fighting skills of Minhyuk as his character faces off against Min Seung Ho. The preview about Minhyuk's character ended congratulating him on his discharge from the military.

Moreover, the Director of the drama, Choi Jae Hoon, had nothing but praise for Minhyuk. He expressed that Minhyuk is a great actor who has a strong impact that fills the frame with useful facial expressions and gazes when he appears onscreen.
