The movie 'Brave Citizen', a film adaptation of Naver's popular webtoon of the same name confirms the casting of actors Shin Hye Sun and Lee Jun Young as the main characters.

Shin Hye Sun, who has been entitled as a box-office actress for her dramas like 'Queen Cheolin', 'Dan, One Love', 'Thirty but Seventeen', and the movie 'Government' and 'Innocence', is a screen-casting actress who will have a comeback as an actress with 'Brave Citizen' to bring injustice very seriously. She plays the role of So Si-min, a heroic hero who is patient with life, and shows off a limitless transformation once again.

She was a boxing prospect that everyone notice since she was in school, but she adapts to the unavoidable reality and lives as a fixed-term teacher. Her only goal is to become a full-time teacher. Shin Hye Sun is known for her perfect acting skills. The actress is expected to give the audience a pleasure they have never seen before by foretelling that she can nail a realistic action performance through this work.

While, Lee Joon Young plays the role of Han Su-gang, a student who opposes So-shi-min, a fixed-term teacher with extraordinary specifications. He is attracting attention as a next-generation rising star by capturing the public with his strong presence in the Netflix original 'DP', which has been loved recently.

'Brave Citizen' was based on the original Naver webtoon 'Brave Citizen' (written by Kim Jung-Hyun/pictured) of the same name, which shows the pleasant action of a female hero, and will show cool and exhilarating hero action that has never been seen in existing Korean movies. Director Park Jin-Pyo is in charge of directing, and writers Yeo-Na and Hyeon Choong-Yeol, who led the Korean box office syndrome with 'Wonderful Rumors', are in charge of the screenplay.

'Brave Citizen' is a life-oriented hero action movie depicting the story of a woman who was once a boxing prospect but became a fixed-term teacher and faces the injustice that she has to endure in order to become a full-time teacher. Shin Hye Sun and Lee Jun Young appear, and director Park Jin-Pyo of 'Accomplices', 'My Love By My Side', 'That Guy's Voice' and 'You Are My Destiny' took the megaphone.

 The scheduled premiere will be in December and investment is being positively reviewed as a wave original movie.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
