Lee Je Hoon to film a detective story after military duties

After finishing his duty in the Korean military, actor Lee Je Hoon will be making his way back to the industry with the movie Detective Hong Gil-Dong (명탐정 홍길동).

Hong Gil-Dong is a renowned fictional story in Korea. The upcoming movie twists the story and turns Hong Gil-Dong into a private detective who works for the underground world.

“It’s a very unique genre, and it was very fun to read about. I was interested in the fact that Hong Gil-Dong would be a detective, as well. I have a lot of trust in director Cho Sung-Hee and I look forward to working with him”, Lee Je Hoon said about the reasons for selecting Detective Hong Gil-Dong.

According to Director Cho, “Hong Gil-Dong is a complex character with a cold yet pure personality; I thought Lee Je Hoon would be best at portraying this complex, sensitive role.”

The first movie after Lee Je-Hoon’s discharge, Detective Hong Gil-Dong will start filming in November 2014.
