Song Joong Ki is an actor who works tirelessly.

According to the film industry, Song Joong Ki has recently confirmed that he will appear in the film 'Ro Gi-wan (Director Kim Hee-jin)' as his next film and is preparing to film.

'Ro Gi-wan,' a film adaptation of Jo Hae-novel jin's 'I Met Ro Gi-wan,' is said to be a work that depicts the story of Ro Gi-wan, a young man from North Hamgyong Province who is smuggled into Belgium, and a broadcast writer who follows in his footsteps.

As a North Korean defector, Song Joong Ki predicts another radical transformation.

The relationship between Song Joong Ki and Ro Ki Wan dates back to 2017. At the time of the first mention of Song Joong Ki's appearance, the production team and Song Joong Ki's side both responded, "It's just one meeting," and "It's premature". 

That meeting continued until five years later, and the 'Ro Gi-wan' project was restarted.

With this, Song Joong Ki will join the 'Ro Gi-wan' project after finishing the currently filming 'Hwaran'. As the amount of locations is quite large, the 'Ro Gi-wan' team is expected to start filming overseas at the end of the year as soon as possible.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
