On April 24, “The Target” held its media conference to promote the upcoming release of the action movie. In regards to the film’s plot, Ryu Seung Ryong commented, “My character, Yeo Hoon, is a former mercenary. He returns to Korea to try and live a normal life when he is framed for a murder. It becomes a difficult situation when he is being chased as the murderer while at the same time he is chasing the person who framed him.”

Furthermore, the actor revealed that he had acted in about 95% of the action scenes without the help of a stunt double.

As “The Target” is Ryu Seung Ryong’s first action film, the actor expressed, “This is my first time filming for an action movie in which I personally run and hit things.
