Director Byung Sung-hyun clearly likes working with Sol Kyung-gu. Their hit pairing in “The Merciless” was invited to Cannes whereas their second collaboration “King Maker” is also an anticipated release for this year.
While “King Maker” awaits release scheduling, it was announced that Sol Kyung-gu has also come on board Byun's next film, a Netflix original movie tentatively titled “Kill Bok-soon”. Sources close to the production also claim that the actor will also be pairing up with actress extraordinaire Jeon Do-yeon, who has responded positively to the production. This would be the two actors' third collaboration after “I Wish I Had a Wife” and 2019's Sewol ferry disaster drama “Birthday”.
“Kill Bok-soon” is an action thriller that deals with the story of a female assassin, with Jeon playing the titular character. It is expected to go on the floors before the end of this year.
