The internet didn’t just react - it erupted.

A tidal wave of anticipation is sweeping across continents as Lee Joon Gi steps into the centre of the most ambitious Asian television event ever mounted: kiDnap GAME. Genius, mystery, and magnetic star power collide - and at the heart of it all stands Lee Joon Gi, commanding, enigmatic, and utterly unmissable.

Known across the world for his razor-sharp intensity and electrifying action performances, Lee Joon Gi returns to the screen after a three-year hiatus following Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun. His comeback isn’t quiet - it’s seismic.

In kiDnap GAME, his role remains shrouded in secrecy, but fans already suspect: he is the axis on which the entire narrative turns.

A strategist? A survivor? A mastermind?

Whatever the truth, one thing is certain - Lee Joon Gi will not merely participate in this story. He will DEFINE it.

THE VISION

'A GLOBAL HIT'

At the 21 April 2026 press conference, director-producer, Yuji Kato, unveiled a teaser that instantly ignited global buzz. His mission is bold:

'To create a global hit from Japan - on the scale of Squid Game.'

And he’s not thinking small.

Filming spans Tokyo, Manila, Bangkok, and beyond, with production wrapping slated for late May.

The budget? ‘Quite a lot', Kato admits - industry shorthand for massive. This is not just large-scale television; it’s cinematic storytelling stretched across countries and regions characterized by extreme diversity in race, culture (religion & language), climate and geography.

Backing this vision are powerhouse collaborators: MakerVille Hong Kong (CEO Kenneth Kam) and SimStory, South Korea (Ms Song Seon Eui), forming the largest international co-production in Fuji TV history.

SimStory CEO Ms Song Seon Eui didn’t mince words:

‘When I read the script, I thought Director Kato was a genius.’

He’s already hinting at a Season 2. The ambition is that real.

A MULTINATIONAL CAST

BUT ONE CENTER OF GRAVITY

While the series boasts a powerful international ensemble - Alice Ko (Taiwan), Kentaro Sakaguchi (Japan), and Carrie Wong (Singapore) - the spotlight unmistakably converges on Lee Joon Gi (South Korea).

Dubbed not only The King of High-Stakes Thrillers but also Top Action Superstar, the top Korean actor with global appeal brings not only global recognition but a rare ability to fuse emotional depth with physical intensity. His presence elevates every frame into something visceral, something urgent.

Whispers of an international romance - particularly with Carrie Wong - have already stirred intrigue, fuelled by emotionally-charged scenes filmed in Singapore.

SEVEN CITIES

SIX COUNTRIES

ONE DEADLY GAME

From the neon pulse of Tokyo to the humidity of Singapore, from Seoul’s sharp modernity to Manila’s sprawling intensity - kiDnap GAME is a sensory and cultural odyssey.

Filming Locations:

Tokyo & Naha (Japan)

Seoul (South Korea)

Taipei (Taiwan)

Singapore

Bangkok (Thailand)

Manila (Philippines)

Shot in 4K with local crews across regions, the production aims squarely at global standards - visually rivalling Western prestige series while maintaining a distinctly Asian narrative core.

THE STORY

SURVIVAL

SACRIFICE

AND

IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES

Seven cities. Seven kidnappings. One brutal rule.

Each must complete a series of escalating missions to save the person they love most. But there’s a devastating twist:

Only one can succeed. The rest lose everything.

“How far are you willing to go to save your loved one?”

Morality bends.

Humanity is tested to its limits.

And at the centre of this storm stands Lee Joon Gi - navigating, manipulating, surviving.
