The film "Typhoon" (working title) has completed its casting lineup and begun filming in October.

The film "Typhoon" (working title) has confirmed a casting lineup featuring Koo Kyo-hwan, Han Jimin, Oh Jeong-se, Han Sun-hwa, Kim Eung-soo, Oh Min-ae, Kim Yo-han, and Choi Ji-su. "Typhoon" (working title) is a heart-wrenching disaster escape comedy about Jin-mo (played by Koo Kyo-hwan) and Jae-i (played by Han Jimin), who have decided to break up, encountering a massive typhoon at a hometown relative's wedding.

Jin-mo, the character played by Koo Kyo-hwan, is an ordinary office worker from a small provincial city who graduated from S University and joined a major corporation—a "dragon from a humble background"—but currently remains stuck as a long-time assistant manager. In "Typhoon," Koo Kyo-hwan is set to showcase his unique human charm through a transformation into the role of a realistic husband and father. Expectations are high for his performance in "Typhoon," given that he has been responsible for box office success in the Korean film industry with works such as "What If" and "COLONY."

Han Jimin plays Jae-i, the wife of the exasperating husband Jin-mo. Once a recognized talent at a publishing house, she is a sharp and bold character who boldly decided to resign after marriage, judging that she could not balance work and childcare, and now dreams of transitioning into being a YouTuber. In the film, Jae-i finds breakthroughs in disaster situations using the know-how from her "Life Hacks Channel," demonstrating wit. The combination of Jae-i's capable color in the film and Han Jimin's unique lovable charm is expected to herald the birth of a career-defining character.

Following the couple Koo Kyo-hwan and Han Jimin, whose compatibility is as intense as a typhoon, Oh Jeong-se takes on the role of "Sang-hyuk," a friend of the couple. Sang-hyuk appears as Jin-mo's hometown friend and a 119 rescue team member who bravely threw himself into action to save the couple trapped in a disaster situation, only to end up isolated with them. Oh Jeong-se's performance as a lovable and free-spirited soul is set to become a major highlight of the film.

In addition, Han Sun-hwa, who has been loved for her unique comedic acting through the film "Pilot" and the dramas "Scandal" and "Drunk Women," takes on the role of "Rose," the owner of the pension (guesthouse). Rose is a stingy person who absolutely will not offer lodging discounts even when a typhoon hits, but she is also a romantic who dreams of Titanic-like love. She reunites with Koo Kyo-hwan and Oh Jeong-se to work together following the drama "Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness."

Kim Eung-soo, still remembered for his role as Kwak Cheol-yong in the film "Tazza," and Oh Min-ae, who left a deep impression with works such as the drama "It Was Beautiful" and the film "Pilot," join as Hyeon-deok and Pil-ja, a 48-year-old couple who travel around the country in a camper van. The two, who bicker while looking out for each other, add warmth to the story.

Next, Kim Yo-han, who has gained attention through the "New Recruit" drama series, and Choi Ji-su, who became known through the drama "Undercover Miss Hong," play a couple on the verge of marriage. They portray Daehan and Cha-young, who meet Jin-mo and Jae-i in the midst of the disaster situation. Preaching an unfounded belief that their married life will be happily different from others', they inject vitality into the drama with their affectionate interactions.

The screenplay and direction are handled by Director Lee Jung-ho, known for the films "BEAST" and "Blade of the Immortal." It is reported that at the reading session held in late September last month, eight actors made audiences look forward to the main feature with their prepared acting and humor.

Meanwhile, "Typhoon" (working title) is scheduled for release next year.
