Lotte to Distribute Latest Myung Films Project
Last seen in the last summer comedy
DETOUR, SHIN will play the boss of an ailing DVD Bang, a Korean establishment that rents rooms by the hour to watch films. A part-timer at the store (played by K-pop star DOH Kyung-soo, aka D.O.) finds a body in one of the rooms during his shift.
SHIN is one of the most familiar faces of the resurgence of Korean cinema, having starred in works such as
PARK Chan-wook’s
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) and
JANG Joon-hwan’s
Save the Green Planet (2003). SHIN, who will soon be seen in the incoming action title
Villainess, stated that
Room No.7 is something that no one has seen before and he also expressed his desire to work with the filmmakers again if the chance comes along.
DOH, a member of the boyband EXO, recently launched his film career and has appeared in the lead in
UNFORGETTABLE and
MY ANNOYING BROTHER in 2016. He will next be seen this summer in the big-budget fantasy drama
ALONG WITH THE GODS.
