Hitman: Agent Jun () is a 2020 South Korean action comedy film directed by Choi Won-sub, starring Kwon Sang-woo, Jung Joon-ho, Hwang Woo-seul-hye, Lee Yi-kyung and Lee Ji-won. It was released on January 22, 2020.

Plot 
Secret agent Jun fakes his death to pursue his dream of becoming a webtoon artist. He keeps failing at comics until he starts writing and drawing about his former job, which draws the national intelligence agency to him.

Jun, who lost his parents from birth and lived as an orphan. The only talent he had was his excellent fighting skills and excellent drawing skills that even older middle school students could easily control. Then, one day, a man came to see Jun, and he followed the man and later became an agent of the National Intelligence Service who took the title of 'Elite Assassin'. However, his passion for cartoons still remained, to the point where he drew pictures in his spare time while doing his duty. However, as if drawing occasionally was not enough to achieve his true goal, Jun jumped out of a helicopter on a stormy night and disguised himself as if he had been in an accident, and the NIS, who does not know this, believes that he is really dead.

15 years later, Jun started a family and became a cartoonist the way he wanted to, but his dream and reality were different. His serialized comics were full of malicious comments because they weren't fun, and he was scolded by the editor for being late due to a slump. As a result, his actual livelihood was being subsidized by working hard at the construction site as a side job. Slowly getting sick of this situation, he does things he shouldn't have done. He drew a cartoon about his life as an agent while drunk, and the cartoon became a huge hit with the number 1 view. In the eyes of others, it was a very happy moment to finally escape from obscurity, but to Jun, it was a big advertisement for a top-level national secret, so the situation started to burn.

As expected, the comic book, which was a huge hit, caused anger. Jun's difficult but peaceful daily life is put to a halt as NIS agents find out that he is alive and terrorists are also entangled.
