Seolhyun works with Joo Ji Hoon and Kim Hee Won…Join the cast of “Shop of the Lamp”

Singer-actress Seolhyun joined the lineup of the new drama “Shop of the Lamp”.

As a result of Star News’ exclusive coverage on May 15th, it was confirmed that Seolhyun was cast in the drama “Shop of the Lamp” based on Kang Full’s webtoon.

 

“Shop of the Lamp” is a popular webtoon serialized on Kakao in 2011, featuring five people of different ages, origins, backgrounds and occupations from teenagers to old people. The stories of the living and the dead intersect through a store that sells lights.

Seolhyun was offered the role of Ji Young, who was in a relationship with Hyun Min. In the original work, Ji Young chose to die after hearing abusive language from Hyun Min’s mother after Hyun Min suffered an unfortunate accident.

 

Previously, Joo Ji Hoon was selected for the role of the lighting store owner. In addition, the news that Kim Hee Won will direct a drama for the first time since his debut through “Shop of the Lamp” became a hot topic.

 

After appearing in ENA’s “Summer Strike” released in November last year, Seolhyun won “Outstanding Female Performance (Drama)” at LA Web Fest 2023 for this work.

*** "Project Silence," was pre-sold to 140 countries across the world. The film's distributor CJ ENM said on Wednesday that the film was sold to major European countries including France, Germany, Spain and Italy as well as Japan and Hong Kong. I'm surer after the film premieres at the Cannes Film Festival, it's expected to be sold to more countries overseas. The film's world premiere will be on May 21 (local time) at Cannes. The Produce, Director  and the cast will appear on the red carpet. So, does it mean Ju Ji Hun will be there.

*** Ha Jung Woo and Joo Ji Hoon collaborate again for the movie, "Ransomed." The action flick is about a diplomat who pairs up with a native taxi driver in Beirut to save a colleague. Ha. Anyway, it’s well known the two actors are good friends in real life so this is a must-watch.

*** Joo Jihoon shared an interesting behind story of his appearance in his upcoming movie 'Ransomed' on July 4th during the press conference. It was held at CGV at a mall in Yongsan, Seoul. The director, along with leading actors Ha Jungwoo and Joo Jihoon attended the event. On deciding to star in the movie, Joo Jihoon hilariously revealed, "I received the script when I went to Singapore for an event for 'Kingdom'. At the time, Ha Jungwoo had already been confirmed. So I didn't even read the script and just said, 'Thank you.'" He caused more laughter when he said, "And then I read the script and I realized I was screwed. Filming for 'Kingdom' was already so hard... This movie's description said it's the extreme survival journey of two men, and in reality, it was actually the extreme survival journey of Joo Jihoon and Ha Jungwoo."

'Ransomed' will hit theaters on August 2nd.
