South Korean actors Kim Woo Bin and Kim Sung Kyun are teaming up for the first time for the upcoming action-comedy film from Netflix titled Officer Black Belt. 

In a press release on Wednesday, July 26, Netflix shared that the film will follow the lives of a probation officer and a martial arts officer as they attempt to fight crimes together. 

Woo Bin, who is best known for his roles in Black Knight and The Heirs, will portray Lee Jung Do, an easygoing and ordinary man who is also a martial arts prodigy. His character has nine dans (or ranks) in taekwondo, kendo, and judo. 

Meanwhile,  Sung Kyun, who starred in D.P. and Reply 1998, will play probation officer Kim Seon Min. 

The story will kick off with Woo Bin’s character saving a martial arts officer from being attacked by a criminal. As a result of his heroic behavior, he was made to become a substitute martial arts officer for five weeks. 

The film will be helmed by Jason Kim, whose works also include Midnight Runners and Bloodhounds. 

Netflix has yet to announce a release date for Officer Black Belt. 

Meanwhile, aside from Officer Black Belt, Woo Bin is also confirmed to star in a new variety show from renowned PD Na Young Seok, alongside Lee Kwang Soo, EXO’s DO, and Kim Ki Bang.
