Liam Neeson, who is in Seoul for a two-week movie shoot, on Thursday visited Incheon Freedom Park’s statue of the American Gen. Douglas MacArthur, whom he plays in the film.

Neeson took part in a flower offering, remembering the 1950-1953 Korean War.

“Operation Chromite” will depict the amphibious invasion and battle that resulted in a decisive victory for the United Nations Command and turned the tide in the war.

Chromite was the code name for the operation, in which Gen. MacArthur played a critical role.

The film, directed by John H. Lee and starring Korean actors Lee Jung-jae and Jeong Jun-ho, will open in theaters by the end of the year.
