Notably, the real-life victim has been involved as a consultant for the film’s script. The film will also mark Jun Hyosung’s first leading role in a film since debuting as a member of the girl group SECRET in 2009.
“Bound to be a Devil” is scheduled to start filming in mid-August and aims for a 2025 release.
