Actor Byun Yo-han expressed his wishes for a speedy recovery of Heo Young-man, the original author of "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub."

On the 18th, a production report conference for the film "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" was held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall. Director Choi Guk-hee, along with Byun Yo-han, Noh Jae-won, Kim Min-ho, Im Se-mi, and Moon Ji-hoon (Swings), attended the event.

"Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" is a crime film in which Jang Tae-young (played by Byun Yo-han), who believed he had lost everything through an online casino business, and his best friend Park Tae-young (played by Noh Jae-won), who took away everything from him, meet again on the global gambling stage to settle their score.

Byun Yo-han portrayed Jang Tae-young, a gambler who fell due to betrayal by friends but returns to the table fueled only by revenge. Immediately after being cast, he sought out actual gamblers to observe their playing styles.

Byun Yo-han said, "I wondered why Master Heo Young-man chose Texas Hold'em in 'The Song of Beelzebub.' Master Heo has always used cards to reveal the psychology of characters and craft lines that strike at opponents with a dagger. Each card carries its own symbolism, such as desire and greed."

He continued, "Through the two friends and their adversaries, I believe audiences will experience a wide range of emotions. I hope to convey those aspects well to viewers," expressing his expectations for the film.

Byun Yo-han also conveyed his wishes for Master Heo Young-man's quick recovery.

Previously, it was revealed that Master Heo Young-man had been hospitalized due to injuries sustained in a fall accident last month. Recently, Heo's side stated, "Master Heo is calmly working on his health recovery," providing an update on his current condition.

He also shared efforts made to create realistic gambling scenes. Byun Yo-han revealed, "The director recruited skilled Hold'em players from Korea. Many famous players, including Hong Jin-ho and Naomi, appear in the film."

He added, "During rehearsals before filming, we carefully checked everything from betting amounts to ensure there were no errors. In the preparation phase, we trained extensively by playing games with actual players to think strategically and engage in psychological warfare."

Notably, Byun Yo-han learned card-handling skills under the guidance of Kim Seul-gi, a top-tier poker expert in Korea. He said, "Kim Seul-gi is the best in hand techniques, and I practiced consistently with her help." Through this training, Byun Yo-han performed all gambling scenes without using a stunt double for his hands.

Meanwhile, "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" will be released on September 23.
