Will actor Jung Woo-sung portray 'Han Myeong-hwe,' following Lee Ji-tae's role in 'The King and I'?
Artist Company, Jung Woo-sung's agency, stated on the 20th to StarNews, "Jung Woo-sung has been offered a role in the film 'Sal-saeng-bu' (working title) and is currently reviewing it."
If Jung Woo-sung appears in 'Sal-saeng-bu,' he will play the historical figure Han Myeong-hwe. Notably, Han Myeong-hwe is the character portrayed by Lee Ji-tae in 'The King and I,' the second-highest-grossing film of all time and a 'ten million' movie that recently sparked a phenomenon. Interest is focused on whether 'Jung Woo-sung style' Han Myeong-hwe will be seen following the 'Lee Ji-tae style.'
'Sal-saeng-bu' is reported to be directed by Kim Hong-seon, who previously made 'The Conspirators,' 'The Technicians,' 'Shim Chong,' and 'Wolf Hunt.'
Bae Sung-woo, who is also under the same agency as Jung Woo-sung, is also in the running for a role. Artist Company stated that the project is "under review."
