Korean film-director Director of 'Ransomed' adds action, humor to Lebanon hostage crisisBy Kim Eun-jung SEOUL, July 19 (Yonhap) -- The upcoming movie "Ransomed," based on the true events of the 1986 kidnapping of a South Korean diplomat in Lebanon, follows fictional characters on a journey to rescue the hostage to tell a story of the hidden heroes behind the crisis, its director said Wednesday. Kim Seong-hoon, who previously took helm of the Netflix zombie thriller series "Kingdom" (2019) and the Korean disaster movie "Tunnel" (2016), said he was first offered the project four years ago and became curious about the hostage negotiation process, which involved many unanswered questions.
