The movie will be directed by Shin Tae Ra who gained recognition for directing the 2009 action-comedy hit "My Girlfriend is An Agent".

"Bounty Hunters" is another action genre project for the "Gangnam 1970" star. But the movie will also have a hint of comedy and romance to give viewers a breather from the serious action scenes.

The Korean heartthrob will star alongside a Chinese actress who will play the leading lady. However, the specific identity of the actress has not been disclosed yet. There are rumors, however, that model-actress Angel Yeung (more popular known as Angelababy) may already have the role in the bag.

"Bounty Hunters" is a story of individuals who go on a life-threatening journey to catch fugitives in exchange for a hefty reward. Lee Min Ho and the rest of the cast and crew will begin filming in August and in various locations in Korea, Hong Kong, China, and Thailand.
