After "The Producers" ended just this week, Korean and Chinese fans of Soo Hyun are begging for more. Luckily, the star has another film up his sleeve. Soo Hyun is set to show off his "Real" side in the upcoming action thriller.
Soo Hyun's last film was in 2013, which was "Secretly, Greatly." The film broke the opening record of Korean films. More than 500,000 viewers made it to the opening night of Soo Hyun's film. Joining Soo Hyun in the film was Son Hyun Joo, Lee Hyun Woo, and Park Ki Woong.
According to a report by KDramaStars, Soo Hyun will play the role of Jang Tae Young, who is a messenger working for gangsters. In comparison to his comedic character in "The Producers," his role in "Real" is the deliverer of threats and bad news. Fans should definitely look forward to Soo Hyun's violent and dark character for the film.
"Real" is set to be produced by Lee Jung Sub, who is known for his films "Lost in Love" and "The Perfect Couple." The film will begin shooting by Oct. and will be released by the year 2016. However, casting for the two female leads set to star alongside Soo Hyun have already begun.
"It's expected that two female leads will be cast through open auditions," stated KeyEast, Soo Hyun's agency, in a report by Soompi.
Producers of the film are looking for females in their mid to late 20s. New and established actresses are reportedly welcome to audition for the role. However, the agency noted that those signing up for the part must be "willing to film revealing scenes." Auditions for "Real" will be held from July 13 to 24.
