Currently, the film 'Decibel', starring actors Kim Rae Won and Lee Jong Suk, is gaining attention in Korea for its unique theme of urban terror using sound-activated bombs. The movie depicts a scenario where everyday noises exceeding 100dB trigger special bombs, and former Navy Vice-Captain Kang Do-young (Kim Rae Won) must confront the terrorist Jeon Tae-seong (Lee Jong Suk) to save the city.
Directed by Hwang In-ho, 'Decibel' was released on November 16, 2022. Kim Rae Won plays Kang Do-young, the target of the terror, while Lee Jong Suk portrays Jeon Tae-seong, a Mensa-qualified Navy captain turned villain. The film also features a strong supporting cast including Cha Eun Woo, Jung Sang Hoon, and Park Byung Eun, and was produced with a budget of 12 billion Korean Won.
Bloggers have highlighted the film's innovative use of 'sound' as an invisible fear and praised the performances of Kim Rae Won and Lee Jong Suk. The dynamic between Lee Jong Suk as the antagonist and Kim Rae Won as the protagonist was noted as particularly engaging, with Kim Rae Won's diverse action sequences also drawing anticipation.
