Actors Lee Sung-min and Ju Jihoon are reviewing appearances in "Inside Men," which earlier saw Song Kang-ho and Koo Kyo-hwan withdraw due to scheduling conflicts.
On the morning of the 16th, OSEN exclusively reported the news of Lee Sung-min and Ju Jihoon's appearance in the new drama "Inside Men." In relation to this, both sides said, "We have been offered a role in 'Inside Men' and are currently reviewing it."
"Inside Men" is a drama based on writer Yoon Tae-ho's unfinished webtoon and is an adaptation of the 2015 film of the same name into a series. In particular, the film, including the director's cut, surpassed 9 million cumulative admissions, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated Korean film in history. The drama series also generated anticipation.
To that end, actor Song Kang-ho was previously offered the role of the corrupt journalist Lee Kang-hee, played by Baek Yoon-sik in the film, and Koo Kyo-hwan was offered the role of the political thug Ahn Sang-gu, famously portrayed by Lee Byung-hun in the film. However, both declined at the end due to scheduling conflicts. In addition, director Mo Wan-il and Soo Ae, who was mentioned as the female lead, have also withdrawn.
However, the production company's will to make it a series is strong. To that end, Lee Sung-min is being considered for the central role of Lee Kang-hee, and Ju Jihoon is reviewing the possibility of appearing in various characters.
Hive Media Corp., the production company pushing the series following the film, is also discussing a new director. The scheduling of the drama "Inside Men" is undecided.<
