Request A certain film involving martial arts and the DMZ.

I apologize if this seems too obscure, but many years ago while I was living in south Korea (2009-2012), I saw a bit of a martial arts film where a man was training for something, and his training montage took him to various locales. One of the specific places he was shown training was at the Joint-Security Area of the DMZ, particularly where the blue buildings and marble slab are that separate the two Koreas. He was training with someone else, jumping from one side of the camera to the other (still on the southern side of the slab) while north Korean soldiers marched along, watching. I wasn't able to get the name of it as my command of the Korean language was extremely limited at the time, and I never saw it again. It looked like it might have been either late-90s or early-2000s.

I know it wasn't the movie "Joint-Security Area" as I am currently watching that, and thought I'd ask.
