Song Joong Ki is gearing up for his next project “My Name is Loh Kiwan”!
Based on Jo Hae Jin’s novel “I Met Loh Kiwan” (literal title), “My Name is Loh Kiwan” tells the story of the meeting, break up, and love between North Korean defector Loh Kiwan (Song Joong Ki), who arrives in Belgium with his last hope, and Marie (Choi Sung Eun), a woman who has lost her reason to live.
Song Joong Ki will be playing the role of Loh Kiwan, who struggles to earn the status of a refugee in Belgium, a foreign land he travels to with nothing to his name.
Choi Sung Eun of the projects “Start-Up,” “The Sound of Magic,” and “Gentleman” will be taking on the role of Marie, a Korean professional shooter with a Belgian citizenship. Unlike Loh Kiwan who travels all the way to Belgium in hopes to survive, Marie has lost her reason to live, but she unintentionally falls in love with Loh Kiwan after their first encounter.
Jo Han Chul, who starred in “Reborn Rich” with Song Jong Ki and “The Sound of Magic” with Choi Sung Eun, will be playing the role of Marie’s father Yoon Sung. Kim Sung Ryung will also star in the film as Ok Hee, who becomes the decisive reason Loh Kiwan travels to Belgium.
Furthermore, Lee Il Hwa will play Marie’s mother Jung Joo, Lee Sang Hee will take on the role of Sun Joo, a Korean immigrant who Loh Kiwan meets at a factory in Belgium, and Seo Hyun Woo will play Loh Kiwan’s uncle Eun Chul.
Stay tuned for more updates on the film!
