Actors Joo Won and Park Se-young to join cast of “Fashion King”
Cast members for the upcoming film “Fashion King,” based on a popular webtoon that drew 4 million weekly views in Korea, was unveiled on Sunday.
“I look forward to translating the widely read webtoon into a film with popular stars. I hope my long preparation for the film will be able to convey the same feeling the original,” said the director Oh Ki-hwan.
The film is about a boy, played by actor Joo Won, who starts taking fashion seriously so he will look attractive to the girl he likes. Rookie actress Park Se-young was finalized to play Joo Won’s counterpart, though Sohee from K-pop girl group Wonder Girls was said to be a strong candidate for the role.
“Fashion King” will start shooting this month and is expected to be released later in the year.
