Actor Byun Yo-han revealed behind-the-scenes details about his experience performing in a school uniform for 'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub'.

On the 9th, a press screening for the film 'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub' was held at CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Choi Kuk-hee and actors Byun Yo-han and Noh Jae-won were in attendance.

'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub' (hereinafter 'Tazza 4'), which concludes the 'Tazza' series, is a crime film in which Jang Tae-young (played by Byun Yo-han), who thought he had everything through an online casino business, and his best friend Park Tae-young (played by Noh Jae-won) of the same name, who took away everything from him, meet again on the global gambling stage to settle their score.

Directed by Choi Dong-hoon, 'Tazza' received explosive reactions upon its release, marking the beginning of the series. Since then, the 'Tazza' series has consistently drawn audiences across generations, and in 2026, celebrating its 20th anniversary on screen, it concludes with the final story 'Tazza 4', based on the fourth installment of the original work.

Director Choi Kuk-hee, who took the helm for the finale, stated, "I felt this film has stronger and deeper drama compared to previous installments," adding, "It particularly focuses on the theme of human desires."

She continued, "Emotions such as envy, jealousy, and betrayal were very well expressed in the original work. We tried our best to incorporate those elements into the film."

'Tazza 4' is rated for viewers under 19 and will be released during the Chuseok holiday theater season. When asked about releasing a restricted-audience film during a holiday period when family audiences are abundant, Director Choi explained, "Rather than making a movie that families can watch together, I wanted to create an entertainment film that adult audiences could enjoy."

She further elaborated, "At first, we considered using CG effects, but it proved difficult. We also thought about casting younger actors, but ultimately decided that having the current cast perform directly would yield a much more realistic result."

Notably, behind-the-scenes details about Byun Yo-han's school uniform performance were also revealed. Director Choi shared, "When Byun Yo-han first heard about the role, he said, 'I absolutely cannot wear a school uniform.' He mentioned that after his role in 'Snow White: Death of the Queen - Black Out,' he had promised the public and fans not to wear one again, so he insisted he really couldn't do it," which drew laughter from those present.

She added, "However, we kept persuading him that this scene was essential to connect with the character's narrative. In the end, he agreed to wear it, and once he did, it turned out to suit him perfectly."

Director Choi also explained, "Since we aimed to create an entertainment film for adults, we boldly included bedroom scenes and action sequences as well. While preserving the stimulation and thrill characteristic of the 'Tazza' series, we sought to portray the desires and relationships unique to this installment with greater depth."
