Lee Je-hoon has taken on various roles such as the sweet boyfriend in the recent time-travel tvN drama “Tomorrow With You” alongside Shin Min-ah. But the actor becomes almost unrecognizable in the upcoming historical film “Park Yeol” (unofficial translation).

Lee is seen sporting much stubble and a maniacal grin in posters released by the film’s distributor Monday. Written is the film’s tagline, “Joseon Dynasty’s biggest rebel.”

The film is about Park Yeol, a Korean independence fighter who began the rebel movement to assassinate the Japanese emperor during the Japanese occupation of Korea.

The film will hit theaters in late June.
