On the 19th, a Chungmuro* rep said Park Yuchun has recently confirmed acting in ‘Sea Fog’ and is in the process of signing the contract. He was in discussion with the production team for a long period and has finally confirmed that he will act in it. His role is as sailor/seaman Dong Shik, with veteran actor Kim Yoon-seok as the captain; it is a charismatic role desired by many actors in the 20s and 30s. Filming is expected to start in mid October.
‘Sea Fog’ will be produced by Bong Joon-ho, the director of box office hit ‘Snowpiercer’ and this will be his first production. It will be directed by Shim Sung-bo, the screenwriter for ‘Memories of Murder’ and it will be his directing debut. The story is based on the original 2007 stage play of the same name and is about the crew of a ship dealing with stowaways in the open sea. The huge production costs being invested in this large-scale work of high expectations, the Chungmuro representative veteran actor Kim Yoon-seok, and Park Yuchun who beat many candidates to land the role, are drawing much attention.
