Actor Yoon Kyung-ho, who is enjoying the prime of his life, will appear in the final Tazza series Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub.
Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub (director Choi Guk-hee, distributed by CJ ENM, produced by Sidus) is a crime film in which Jang Tae-young (Byun Yo-Han), who thought he had the world because of his online Big Bet business, and his close friend of the same name (Roh Jae Won), who stole everything from him, reunite on the global gambling stage for one final revenge showdown.
In this highly anticipated final Tazza installment, Yoon Kyung-ho, who has reached the peak of his career with The Trauma Code: Heroes on call, The Legend of Kitchen Soldier, Manager Kim, and the film My Daughter is a Zombie, joins the cast.
Cho Jung-hwan, played by Yoon Kyung-ho, is an international fixer who takes contracts to handle cleanup and has Abraham (Moon ji-hoon) as a subordinate. His casting reportedly began with a long text message from director Choi Guk-hee.
Yoon Kyung-ho said that Choi told him, "Cho Jung-hwan is an important character who is responsible for the beginning and end of the work, and I really hope Yoon Kyung-ho will play this role," and that he prepared with a pleased yet heavy sense of responsibility.
The speech style of Cho Jung-hwan, which drew attention even in the trailer, was a result of a suggestion directly from Yoon Kyung-ho. When he faced the slicked-back styling, he thought that if the character were someone who moved from the north to Vietnam, the backstory would deepen, so he suggested to the director on the spot to blend the Pyongyang and Pyeongan dialects.
Yoon Kyung-ho said he wanted Cho Jung-hwan to be "a person who has been through every hardship and you would not know where he started or by what route he drifted to Vietnam." That subtle difference created a new face of Cho Jung-hwan different from the original work and previous series.
Meanwhile, the finale of the Tazza series, Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub, opens on Sept. 23.
