Top star Lee Byung Hun (41) will tackle his first historical drama. On November 14th, Lee Byung Hun's agency BH Entertainment put rumors to rest when they confirmed that the star has signed on for 'King of Chosun'. Lee Byung Hun's agency stated, "'King of Chosun' is a very famous scenario in the movie industry, so it was one that many had their eyes on. A casting offer was made, so after reviewing it carefully, Lee Byung Hun decided to accept the offer." This production is based off of Mark Twain's popular story, 'The Prince and the Pauper', only with a historical Korean twist. Lee Byung Hun will play dual roles as 'King Kwang Hae Goon' and a peasant, who both look remarkably identical to one another. At this time, there are rumors that 'King of Chosun' will cast 'Sunny'�actress Shim Eun Kyung for one of its more substantial roles. Shim Eun Kyung, however, has yet to make an official decision as she is currently studying abroad in the States. Source + Image: Seoul Economy, Star News
