Lee Byung-hun is returning to the big screen with yet another powerful transformation — this time as an ordinary man pushed to the edge.

🎬 Meet Mansoo, the Unemployed Everyman

In the upcoming film Can't Help Myself (directed by Park Chan-wook), Lee plays Mansoo, a once-proud worker who's suddenly fired and forced to navigate his new, unstable reality. As he spirals into desperation, Mansoo prepares for a battle only he can fight.

💥 Another Bold Transformation

From Squid Game: The Series to The Man Standing Next, The Match, and K-pop Demon Hunters, Lee Byung-hun has proven his range again and again. Can't Help Myself continues this legacy — this time exploring the raw vulnerability of a man on the brink.

🎭 Lee Byung-hun on His Role

"The biggest challenge was showing such an extreme situation in a way that still felt real and believable," Lee shared. He focused on portraying Mansoo's complex emotional journey — from pride to panic — with precision and nuance.

🎥 Park Chan-wook x Lee Byung-hun, Third Collaboration

Park praised Lee's dynamic performance, saying, "He has so many expressions — watching him shift emotions in a flash keeps you fully engaged until the very end."

🌟 Star-Studded Cast, High Expectations

The film also features Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, and Yeom Hye-ran — a dream ensemble for what's set to be one of fall's biggest cinematic releases.
