A-list actor Park Bo-gum will return to the big screen as a human clone.
Park's agency, Blossom Entertainment, confirmed he would star in a film tentatively titled "Seobok" alongside Gong Yoo.
"Park will come back with 'Seobok,' four years after the release of his latest crime movie 'Coinlocker Girl' in 2014," the agency said.
The new film revolves around a former agent from the intelligence agency, played by Gong Yoo. He will be tracked by various parties that aim to catch "Seobok," the first human clone in history.
Park plays Seobok, who possesses the secret of "eternal life."
Award-winning filmmaker Lee Yong-ju will direct the movie. Lee was at the helm of romantic film "Architecture 101" in 2012, which propelled singer-actress Suzy to greater stardom.
It is the first time a Korean movie has been based on human cloning. Filming will begin in April.
Park debuted in 2011 and was catapulted to fame after starring in the tvN soap opera "Reply 1988." He recently featured in another tvN series, "Encounter," that ended in January.
