Hwang Jung-min from the recent movies "Ode to My Father" and "Veteran", is coming back with "The Himalayas" as Captain Eom Hong-gil who sets on a journey for a fellow climber who ends his life on the mountains. Jung Woo plays Park Moo-taek, a junior climber who Eom Hong-gil tries to rescue until the very last moment.

In the stills from the movie, the two actors are holding hands with the Himalayas in the background, showing deep trust for each other. Park Moo-taek is training himself with pushups with his daughter on his back and Eom Hong-gil is watching him with a proud smile on his face. In another still, Park Moo-taek is training on a climbing wall and Eom Hong-gil is pushing him to do harder with a broom in his hand.

In the picture of Hong-gil and Moo-taek spending the night hooked onto a cliff with ropes at the peak of Kanchenjunga, they are fighting the cold and drowsiness, supporting each other physically and mentally.

Hwang Jung-min and Jung Woo have starred in the 2006 movie "Bloody Tie" before and they have come back together with "The Himalayas". Hwang Jung-min said, "We depended on each other a lot just like Eom Hong-gil and Park Moo-taek would have". Jung Woo said, "Working with Hwang Jung-min was a great experience for me. He's always considerate and helps me to concentrate".

"The Himalayas" is coming out this December.
