Hyosung has been officially cast in 'Bound to be a Devil'.
Following reports of her casting, the production team behind 'Bound to be a Devil' confirmed Hyosung has been cast as the lead of the upcoming film, which will mark his big screen debut.
'Bound to be a Devil' is based on the infamous 'Busan roundhouse kick incident', which occurred in May of 2022. A man in his 30s attacked a woman in her 20s with a roundhouse kick after following her to the entrance of an officetel.
The incident was captured on CCTV, leading to widespread national outrage. The perpetrator was charged with attempted murder and sentenced to 12 years in prison during the first trial, but during the appeal, the charge was upgraded to attempted rape and murder and the Supreme Court confirmed a 20-year sentence. During the trial, the perpetrator consistently denied his crime, and instead of showing remorse, warned he'll be retaliating against his victim, leading to his solitary confinement in a detention center. Allegations of inadequate police investigation also emerged, which led to public criticism.
'Bound to be a Devil' is set to start filming later this month, and its slated for a release in 2025.
