In the 2016 film Pandora, what is the name of the main character played by Kim Nam-gil?

The story behind the answer

In the 2016 South Korean film Pandora, Kim Nam-gil plays Kang Jae-hyeok. Jae-hyeok is a nuclear-power-plant worker who becomes central to the response after an earthquake causes a reactor accident.

The character is portrayed as an ordinary worker drawn into an extraordinary crisis. His personal connection to the plant and to the surrounding community gives the disaster story a human focus, while the film also examines institutional decisions and the dangers faced by workers during an emergency.

Kim Nam-gil is a South Korean actor known for television and film roles, including the television series The Fiery Priest. Pandora is not connected to the American fantasy series of the same name or to the Greek myth as a direct adaptation; it uses the mythological title symbolically for a disaster that releases danger into the world.
