I wonder is cho woo jin confirmed as villain?

 

 

[gumtaek]

@rahma92: So far no official position of Cho Woo Jin's agency with regard to the offer to be in Seobok.

 

Info about the PD, Lee Yong Ju...It is worthwhile noting that he is both a director and screenwriter.

Career[edit]

His script for his directorial feature debut horror film Possessed (2009) was the most talked-about script in the local film industry due to its unique idea and well-conceived plot. The film won critical praise but stumbled at the box office. His second feature Architecture 101 (2012) "captured viewers' attention and earned critical plaudits with its restrained style and well drawn characters."^[2][3][4][5]

Park will also try to make a surprising change in appearance in the film. The plan is to approach the movie with a new visual that has never been seen before.
