Netflix is gearing up for one of its most anticipated global action films with TYGO, an intense Korean-led thriller set within the blockbuster Extraction Universe. Blending gritty Korean action filmmaking with Hollywood-scale intensity, TYGO introduces a brand-new hero and storyline that expands the franchise into Korean territory for the first time.
What Is TYGO About?
TYGO follows the story of Tygo, a former war orphan turned elite mercenary who has spent his life on the battlefield. After a critical mission goes terribly wrong, his closest friend and companion, Lia, is kidnapped by a ruthless Korean crime syndicate. Determined to rescue her and uncover who betrayed their unit, Tygo launches a brutal mission through Korea’s criminal underworld—unleashing his skills, scars, and unfiltered rage.
The film continues the Extraction universe’s signature themes: survival, loyalty, high-risk missions, and deeply emotional revenge arcs. But TYGO adds its own unique identity with a distinctly Korean setting, tone, and narrative style.
Cast & Characters
TYGO brings together an explosive trio of stars:
Don Lee (Ma Dong-seok) as Tygo
Known for his powerhouse presence and raw physicality, Don Lee leads the film as Tygo—a mercenary shaped by trauma, loyalty, and a violent past. He not only stars in the film but also serves as one of the producers, helping craft its action style and narrative direction.
Lalisa Manobal (LISA of BLACKPINK) as Lia
Lisa plays Lia, Tygo’s trusted partner whose abduction becomes the driving force of the film. TYGO marks her first major Korean action film, making her role one of the most anticipated performances of her career.
Lee Jin-uk as Arman Choi
Lee Jin-uk transforms into Arman Choi, the cold, calculating crime boss who controls Korea’s underground network. His character is the film’s main antagonist—and the man Tygo must confront to bring Lia home.
TYGO is shaping up to be a landmark film—uniting the explosive energy of the Extraction universe with the emotional power and intensity of Korean action cinema. With a star-studded cast led by Don Lee, the exciting film debut of Lisa, and a gripping revenge story, TYGO promises to be one of Netflix’s most talked-about releases.
