BLACKPINK's Lisa will appear in the Netflix movie "TYGO" alongside Ma Dong-seok and Lee Jin-wook. This spin-off expands the world of the movie "Tyler Rake - Rescue Mission" and showcases the story of Taigo, a new character, his friends, and the crime organization that threatens them. "TYGO" is an action film where Taigo, a mercenary raised as a war orphan, is on a critical mission when his friend Ria, whom he considers family, is kidnapped by a crime organization, leading him to embark on a life-threatening rescue mission. The role of Taigo, who has lived only to survive in war zones, is played by Ma Dong-seok, an actor who has gained global popularity not only in Korea. He is a multi-talented figure with diverse charms across genres and characters, as well as achievements as a producer. Expectations are high for how he will showcase a new side through the role of mercenary Taigo. Additionally, actor Lee Jin-wook, known for his roles in Netflix's "Squid Game" and "Sweet Home," will play Arman Che, the antagonist from the crime organization, aiming for an image change. He is expected to present a tense confrontation with Ma Dong-seok. Lastly, BLACKPINK's Lisa plays Ria, a team member who carries out missions with Taigo. Ria is a family-like presence who spent dangerous childhood years with Taigo and finds herself in peril during their mission. Lisa, who delivered a memorable performance in HBO's "The White Lotus" Season 3, is making her Korean debut in "TYGO" and challenging herself with action. Directed by Lee Sang-yong, who directed "Crime City" 2 and 3, and featuring action master Ho Myung-hyun, who created legendary action scenes in Korean cinema, the film is generating further anticipation. The production is led by Ma Dong-seok and includes BIGPUNCH PICTURES, known for the "Crime City" series, and AGBO, which produced Netflix's "Tyler Rake" series and "The Gray Man." Additionally, NOVA FILM and BNC Group, known for producing Netflix's "Badlands Hunters," are co-production companies. Ma Dong-seok expressed his excitement, saying, "I am very happy that the production of this work, which has been in preparation for several years, has finally begun. In 'TYGO,' we plan to add a Korean color to the global universe of 'Tyler Rake.' I look forward to showing the explosive energy of 'TYGO' to viewers around the world." Lee Jin-wook stated, "As a fan of the 'Tyler Rake' series, it is a great honor for me to share the universe in this work. I am particularly excited and grateful to be acting alongside my favorite Ma Dong-seok and Lisa. I will do my best to create a good work." Lisa expressed her heartfelt feelings, saying, "I am truly honored to be part of this work and grateful for the opportunity to act alongside such wonderful actors. It has been my dream to appear in an action film. I am happy to be part of such a wonderful project as my film debut."
