A Company Man (Hangul: 회사원; RR: Hoi-sa-won) is a 2012 South Korean action thriller film, starring So Ji-sub, Lee Mi-yeon, Kwak Do-won and Kim Dong-jun. It is about a hitman who find himself targeted by his ex-employers after he falls in love with a single mother and quits his job.
Hyeong-do (So Ji-sub) wears a suit and tie like any other rank-and-file white collar worker... except his profession is a hitman. Seemingly a section chief in the sales division of a metal fabrication company that is actually a front for an organization of hit men, Hyeong-do is regarded as one of the best contract killers in the business and is up for promotion soon. One day, he meets a single mother named Mi-yeon (Lee Mi-yeon) and instantly falls in love. Feeling guilty about his bloody past, Hyeong-do tries to quit the "manufacturer" to the surprise of his colleagues and his enemies. Seen as a loose end, he is immediately hunted down by his former employers.
The film achieved one million admissions 12 days after its release. It was sold to 55 countries including Japan, China, Thailand in Asia, as well as France, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium in Europe.
