'Solo Leveling 5' actor Jo I-geon will appear in the occult short-form drama 'Lucky Horror Live Show'.

According to agency Spring Entertainment on the 9th, Jo I-geon will take on the lead role in the occult short-form drama 'Lucky Horror Live Show' (screenplay by Lee Su-jin, directed by Eom Se-hyun).

'Lucky Horror Live Show' is a live-streaming occult short-form drama about YouTubers who disturb a cursed chest for views and awaken real evil spirits.

In the drama, Jo I-geon plays Mujin, a fake exorcist YouTuber who lives under the name Father Gabriel after leaving a monastery without receiving priestly ordination.

Mujin is a complex character who tries to hide behind divine authority by denying his family's lineage of seeing ghosts but fails. While appearing cold and charismatic on the outside, he is constantly shaken inside by complexes and fear. In particular, Mujin drives the drama's tension by confronting evil spirits that push him as 'the one without faith' head-on.

A Spring Entertainment representative stated, "Jo I-geon is doing his utmost to establish himself completely as an actor through this work, not just for visual buzz," and added, "Please look forward to seeing another side of Jo I-geon that differs from what he has shown so far."

Previously, Jo I-geon attracted attention in February as the 'mackerel man' (the unexpected standout) in Netflix's dating reality show 'Solo Leveling 5', which concluded. He also appeared in the Netflix series 'Trunk' and the U+ Mobile TV drama 'Future of the Future'.

Meanwhile, 'Lucky Horror Live Show' is scheduled to be released sometime in 2026.
