The film 'David', which sparked a global box office sensation, has confirmed an all-star dubbing cast including Park Bo-gum, Jang Kwang, Jang Ji-yeon, Song Jun-seok, and Si Young-jun.

Surpassing the record of 'King of Kings' and setting a new benchmark for religious animation openings, the film 'David' has finalized its domestic dubbing cast. The film 'David' tells the story of an ordinary Mokdong David who, beginning with his mother's song, faces the destiny of becoming a king through a confrontation with Goliath, the giant feared by the world.

Park Bo-gum takes on the role of 'David', the protagonist who overcomes trials through faith and ascends to the throne. Known for his wide-ranging appeal through works such as 'Reply 1988', 'Gurumi Green Moonlight', 'I Was Caught in a Sweet Trap', and 'Good Boy', he will bring his signature clear and firm voice to vividly portray David's purity and moments of decisive action. Having proven his exceptional singing ability through the musical 'Let Me Fly', anticipation is already building for how he will deliver the musical numbers filled with David's anguish and conviction. Park Bo-gum stated, "I deeply resonated with David's courage and the message of hope. I hope this work will be remembered as one that conveys the courage to try and the perseverance to achieve to audiences."

Jang Kwang voices 'Samuel', the prophet who guides David toward the path of kingship. Having built a unique presence across both voice acting and acting, he will bring Samuel to life with his deep voice and warm charisma. Jang Kwang shared, "I've heard David's story since childhood, and when I learned it was being made into a film, I wanted to participate. I am honored to be part of a film that tells a universal and moving story that transcends generations."

Jang Ji-yeon, a musical actress known for her unparalleled singing ability, joins as 'Nitzbeth', David's mother who instills courage and faith in him. Jang Ji-yeon expressed, "I hope the power and emotion of the heart-tugging music are fully conveyed to the audience. Especially, the duet song between 'David' and 'Nitzbeth' in the film deeply conveys a mother's love, making it even more moving. I hope everyone looks forward to it."

Additionally, top-tier domestic voice actors join to enhance the film's quality. Song Jun-seok, known for his work in 'Zootopia 2', 'Detective Conan', and 'Power Rangers Movie', voices 'King Saul', who is consumed by jealousy and madness toward David. With his signature sharp charisma and delicate emotional nuances, he delivers a meticulous inner performance of King Saul. Regarding the character, Song Jun-seok said, "He was a compelling character because he crumbled due to losing his convictions." Meanwhile, Si Young-jun, famous for roles in 'Fullmetal Alchemist' and 'Sgt. Frog', takes on the role of 'Goliath', the overwhelming destiny David must face. Using his distinctive deep voice, he will establish an unparalleled presence. Si Young-jun remarked, "This was an exquisitely crafted film where nothing was lacking in story, music, or visual beauty. I am truly honored to have participated in such a work."

Meanwhile, 'David' will be released in theaters nationwide on July 15.
