Actress Lee Ho Jung is considering appearing in Netflix original series 'The Thief: The Sound of the Sword'.

On December 7, Lee Ho-jung's agency, YG Entertainment, told Newsen, "We are positively considering appearing in Netflix's original 'Thief: The Sound of the Sword' (written by Han Jeong-hoon/directed by Hwang Jun-hyeok)."

A highly-anticipated production with a reported budget of 30 billion KRW (~ $25.3 million USD), 'Thief: Sound of the Sword' (working title) takes place in the 1920's when the Korean peninsula was annexed by the Japanese empire. The story follows the lives of fictional characters who decide to throw a powerful punch of defiance toward those who took their homes and identities by force. 

Lee Ho Jeong is considering the role of the main character, Eon Nyeon. Eon Nyeon is a peasant's daughter who takes up a gun to avenge her man who murdered her parents.

Model-turned-actress Lee Ho Jeong made her face known in the movies 'Youth Police', 'Jangsari: Forgotten Heroes', and the drama 'Nevertheless'.

Described as a thrilling action genre inspired by Spaghetti-Western film techniques, 'Thief: Sound of the Sword' will begin filming in 2022. 

Actor Park Hae Soo shared his thoughts on the long-running comparison between him and Son Suk Ku.

On March 17, a video featuring Park Hae Soo, Lee Hee Joon, and Kim Sung Kyun, the stars of Netflix’s A Killer Paradox, was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong Yup’.

During the video, Jung Ho Chul brought up the topic, saying, “Was Son Suk Ku also on SNL? People must have really enjoyed Park Hae Soo’s appearance because some even got confused, thinking it was Son Suk Ku.”

Hearing this, Park Hae Soo laughed and responded, “Even now? Well, that’s nice.” He then shared a fun story, saying, “I’m actually close with Suk Ku. I first met him at a salon when I heard about these rumors."

He added, "I felt a little bad for him, but since Suk Ku is such a chill guy, he just came up to me and greeted me with, ‘Hyung!’ Then, he suddenly hugged me, saying, ‘When are you coming home?’ like we were real brothers.”

Despite their resemblance, Park Hae Soo admitted that they have never worked together on a project, adding, “To be honest, Suk Ku is actually closer to Lee Hee Joon and Kim Sung Kyun.”

Netizens continue to agree that the two actors look alike, keeping the fun rumor alive!
