Wi Ha Joon is gearing up for another drama!
On November 18, an industry representative reported that the actor has been cast in the upcoming drama “K Project” (working title, previously known as “Gyeongseong Creature”).
In response to the report, his agency MSTeam Entertainment commented, “Wi Ha Joon is starring in ‘K Project.’ The exact details are currently being sorted out.”
“K Project” is a thriller about survival and human dignity. It tells the stories of youth who lived during a time when sovereignty and human rights were taken away from them, and they had to put their lives on the line just to achieve the most basic happiness. It will be written by Kang Eun Kyung of the “Dr. Romantic” series and directed by Jung Dong Yoon of “Stove League.”
It was revealed earlier in the year that Park Seo Joon is in talks to play the male lead Jang Tae Sang, and Han So Hee is also considering a role in the drama.
Wi Ha Joon has been cast for the role of Kwon Joon Taek, who is Jang Tae Sang’s best friend. He was born in a wealthy household but feels hostility toward his pro-Japanese family. Somewhat relating to Jang Tae Sang who is a voluntary outsider, the two become close friends.
Along with the international success of “Squid Game,” Wi Ha Joon has a full lineup of upcoming projects beginning with “Bad and Crazy,” which premieres on December 17. “K Project” will reportedly begin filming in January, and Wi Ha Joon is also in talks to join the cast of “Little Women” (literal title) after filming “K Project.”
Stay tuned for updates on “K Project”!
