Singer and actor Ok Taec-yeon will star in a period movie for the first time in his career.
The actor's agency 51K said Thursday that Ok “is making his first attempt in the historical piece through the movie 'Han San.'”
The film will be directed by Kim Han-min, who is known for writing and directing award-winning period films like “Roaring Currents.” His latest film will follow a historical battle between Korea and Japan in 1592 ― the “Battle of Hansan Island.”
Ok will play a Korean navy soldier. Actors Park Hae-il, Byun Yo-han and Kim Sung-kyu also have confirmed roles.
The film is scheduled to start production in the latter half of the year.
