The top three actors from the movie *Joint Security Area JSA* came together again after 25 years for a special photo.

On the 23rd, actor Lee Byung-hun shared an image on social media accompanied by the message, “Time flies #No Other Choice.” The picture features actors Shin Ha-kyun, Lee Byung-hun, and Song Kang-ho seated next to each other, grinning as though reenacting a moment from *Joint Security Area JSA*.

The trio seemed to have come together following a VIP premiere of *No Other Choice*, a recent movie directed by Park Chan-wook and featuring Lee Byung-hun, which ended on the 22nd.

They initially worked together on the 2000 movie *Joint Security Area JSA*. During an audience discussion in February to mark the film’s 25th anniversary, director Park Chan-wook, Lee Byung-hun, Song Kang-ho, Lee Young-ae, and Kim Tae-woo were present, though Shin Ha-kyun’s absence caused some sadness.

In the meantime, *No Other Choice*, which came out on the 24th, tells the tale of Mansu (Lee Byung-hun), an office employee who believed his life was “perfect” until he suddenly lost his job. Resolute in safeguarding his wife and two kids and keeping the house he struggled to obtain, Mansu gets ready for his personal fight to secure a new job.

Director Park Chan-wook clarified the absence of space in the title, saying, “I aimed for viewers to see it as one single exclamation.” He continued, “I frequently do this. It’s not a statement that arises from deep consideration but rather something that just comes up—a kind of tone like an exclamation that can be applied anywhere without second thought.”
