Actor Gang Dong-won is set to appear in director Kwak Kyung-taek's new film "Tobael."
On the 25th, OSEN reported that Gang Dong-won is expected to appear in director Kwak Kyung-taek's new film "Tobael." In this regard, a representative for Gang Dong-won told OSEN, "It is true that he has been offered a role in 'Tobael' and is currently reviewing it," they said.
"Tobael" is known as a period drama set during the Japanese colonial period that deals with the time around Korea's liberation. As a period drama, a fairly large production budget is expected to be invested, and the production company AD406 has taken the lead. Recently, SHOWBOX, which has consecutively released hits including 1600만 The King's Warden, Once We Were Us and Salmokji, is reportedly in talks to invest and distribute.
Currently, in addition to the lead Gang Dong-won, the female lead is also receiving love calls from star actresses in their 20s and 30s. Another leading character is also being considered for a role by a well-known actor who has received the script.
Direction is by director Kwak Kyung-taek. Director Kwak Kyung-taek is the figure who opened a new horizon for Korean-style noir with "Friend" and received critical acclaim. In addition to that, praised works such as "Ddonggae," "Typhoon," "An Eye for an Eye," "Friend 2," "Confidential Assignment," "The Villainess," and "Firefighter" have been well received, and he is set to quickly present his next work following the new film "Our Dad Zombie."
Notably, Gang Dong-won is drawing attention by transforming into a 1990s idol group for the new film "Wild Thing," which opens on June 3. "Wild Thing" is a comedy about a mixed three-member dance group, Triangle, that once swept the music scene but was unexpectedly caught up in an incident and disbanded overnight, and now takes a reckless challenge to seize a chance for a comeback 20 years later.
Above all, "Wild Thing" has drawn attention for Gang Dong-won portraying the mixed group Triangle alongside actors Um Tae-goo and Park Ji-hyun, using SNS marketing that evokes the actual 1990s music scene. Following the 1990s original idol transformation, nonstop work from "Tobael" is eagerly anticipated.
