EOM Tae-woong will tackle the role of a manager in KIM Han-min's Haendeupon (English translation: "Mobile Phone"). The main characters of the thriller are the manager and his female top star.
KIM Han-min wrote and directed last year's box office hit "Paradise Murdered" ("Paradise 1986"). It was his first feature film after being successful with awarded short films.
EOM is active in both Television and cinema. EOM was successful earlier this year with the surprise box office hit "Forever the Moment", a sports drama from the hands of LIM Soon-rye. He also plays in LEE Joon-ik's "Sunny" which is playing in cinemas at the moment.
KIM revealed that this film will brim with suspense like his previous film "Paradise Murdered" ("Paradise 1986"), a well-structured film with a twist. The casting of the other roles have not been announced yet.
