According to Segye Ilbo, the star studded film has confirmed its March 1 release. In My Name is Loh Kiwan, Song Joong Ki portrays Loh Kiwan, a North Korean defector striving to secure refugee status in Belgium. He collaborates with Marie (Choi Sung Eun), a skilled Korean shooter with Belgian citizenship. While Kiwan seeks survival in Belgium, Marie, who has lost her sense of purpose, unintentionally falls in love with him during their partnership.


Despite Song Joong Ki's previous attempt in the crime noir genre with the October 2023 film Hopeless, which faced commercial challenges but received critical acclaim, there is anticipation regarding his performance in the upcoming Netflix romance film. My Name is Loh Kiwan was filmed in Hungary in May 2023 and is based on the novel I Met Ro Ki Wan, depicting the encounters, separations, and love between Kiwan and Marie. Notably, this marks Kim Hee Jin's debut as a feature film director.
