Kim Myung Min who played a cold-hearted surgeon in White Tower, will be welcoming moviegoers on screen in a white gown once again. A press conference for the movie, Return, which is scheduled to open in theatres on August 9th starring Kim Myung Min was held in Seoul.
The movie is a mystery thriller about a child patient who becomes conscious during surgery. Despite being under anesthesia, and the events that occured twentyfive years after the child disappears from the hospital.
Kim Myung Min commented, “Only the occupation of the character is the same from White Tower as I acted a doctor with a completely different personality.”
The following is the response from Kim Myung Min in regards to a question asking about his second role as a doctor, and how is it different from White Tower.
My style is to always review things thoroughly before making any decision, but Return was the first piece I decided in a hurry. I decided to take the role one week prior to the crank in date. Only the occupation is the same as the character’s personality, background, friends, and all situations are completely different. I was filming Return first and White Tower shoots overlapped for about three weeks. I played a rather strong cold-hearted image in White Tower, but this character in the movie if faithful to his family and very sincere to all the hospital employees. Because the two characters were contrastingly different, I decided to take the role in White Tower. I have been able to let go of the White Tower character now. (Kim Myung Min)

Synopsis
Due to inadequate use of anesthetics, a young boy experiences “intra-operative awareness” during his own heart surgery, hearing every sound and movement of the procedure. From the scalpel slicing through his body and surgical saw cutting through his rib cage, he remains completely aware! Unable to respond from the muscle-relaxation used during his surgery, the little boy is severely traumatized from this horrific accident. As a result, the child ends up brutally murdering a young girl soon after the incident. The boy is placed in a mental institution. Several psychiatrists find interest in his case, and decide to utilize radical treatment methods in order to cure the child. Through the use of hypnotism, they succeed in sealing the part of the boy’s memory, his past and the personality that spawned from it. With this success, the boy is given a second chance and is placed to lead a normal life in society. 20 years later, the man’s childhood is once again unlocked from a series of events, and leads to a series of gruesome murders. On a mission to spread the same pain he suffered as a child, the killer becomes cruel yet clever. As the killing continues, each of the memories and the secrets that lie 20 years in the past are slowly revealed.
