A new film titled "살생부" (working title) is in production, and following Jung Woosung, Bae Seong-woo and Jung Sung-il are also appearing.
On the 20th, OSEN reported that Bae Seong-woo and Jung Sung-il recently received casting offers for the new film "살생부" and are positively considering appearing.
A representative of Artist Company, the agency for Jung Woosung and Bae Seong-woo, told OSEN "It is correct that we received the screenplay for the film '살생부'."
Previously it was reported that Jung Woosung would appear as the lead. The character Jung Woosung was offered is the historical real person Han Myeong-hoe, who was a powerful figure who enjoyed the greatest wealth and status of his time. He is also a figure who repeatedly appears in accounts of the Gyeyujeongnan, the 1453 incident in the first year of King Danjong's reign in which Grand Prince Suyang carried out a purge to seize power. He also appeared in the recent 16-million-ticket hit that reexamined the tragic young king Danjong, The King's Warden, and actor Yoo Ji-tae delivered a vivid performance that drew attention.
Bae Seong-woo and Jung Sung-il are also known to be playing important historical figures of that era. Interest is growing over which characters they will portray and how passionately they will perform.
'살생부' will be directed by Kim Hong-sun, who directed Confessors, The Technicians, The Devil's Game and The Hunt, and produced by Take One. A rookie actress is also being cast, and according to the industry the film's level of violence is reported to be quite high and brutal.
Meanwhile, Jung Woosung was embroiled in controversy in November 2024 over an extramarital child scandal with model Moon Gabi. At the time Moon Gabi surprised many by announcing the birth of a son, and when the child was confirmed to be Jung Woosung's biological son the entertainment industry was thrown into an uproar. Jung Woosung later acknowledged that Moon Gabi's son was his biological child and announced he would fulfill his responsibilities as the biological father. However, Jung Woosung registered his marriage with a longtime partner instead of Moon Gabi and formed a separate household.
Jung Woosung refrained from official activities for a while but returned last year through the Disney+ original series Made In Korea. He has finished filming season 2 of Made In Korea and it is scheduled to be released in the second half of this year.
In addition, Bae Seong-woo was caught by police in November 2020 for drunk driving at a level that resulted in license cancellation. At the time he left the SBS drama Flying Gaechun-yong while it was airing, took a period of self-reflection, and was fined 7 million won for drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act. He later returned through the film 1947 Boston (2023) and the Netflix series The 8 Show (2024), and continued his activities appearing in Disney+ Light Shop and Coupang Play's variety show SNL Korea Reboot season 7. The lead film that had been postponed indefinitely due to the drunk-driving incident, originally titled Business Trip Investigation, was retitled The Ultimate Duo and was released recently.
Jung Sung-il proved his acting ability again by playing Cheon Seok-jung, the presidential security chief, in Made In Korea.<
