Actors and idols have met.

"Seoul Ghost Stories" (directed by Hong Won-ki), which will open a new horizon for the K-horror genre, is set to be released on the 27th of next month.

"Seoul Ghost Stories" is a work that reinterprets ghost stories that the MZ generation is enthusiastic about in a modern way, depicting new and diverse stories that plague the city. It is composed of omnibus-style realistic horror materials found in everyday life, providing a sense of fear that continues even after the movie ends.

Above all, the interesting point of "Seoul Ghost Stories" is its unique casting. First, veteran actors such as Kim Do-yoon from "Peninsula" and "Hellbound," Lee Young-jin from "Whispering Corridors 2," Oh Ryun from "Special Delivery" and "Something in the Rain," Lee Su-min from "My Little Brother," Lee Yeol-eum from "Nevertheless," and Jung Won-chan from "The Uncanny Counter" will all appear.

Here, Bong Jae-hyun of Golden Child, SolA and Exy of Cosmic Girls, Shownu of MONSTA X, Arin of Oh My Girl, AleXa, and Ju Hak-nyeon of THE BOYZ will make their screen debuts in "Seoul Ghost Stories."

In addition, there will be a unique transformation by Lee Ho-won, who is active in movies, dramas, and musicals, the first steps of Seo Ji-soo, who transitioned from singer to actor, and "Seoul Ghost Stories," filmed by MONSTA X's Shownu before his military enlistment, and Lee Min-hyuk of BTOB, who had his screen debut in "The Swordsman," adding to the global interest in the participation of K-pop idols.

"Tooth Worm," in which Lee Ho-won plays the main character in an omnibus episode, was invited to the short film section of the 25th Fantasia International Film Festival in 2021 and the 13th Celluloid Screams, and received favorable reviews.

The direction of "Seoul Ghost Stories," which delivers the spiciness of K-horror, was handled by director Hong Won-ki, who directed over 1,500 MVs and commercials for Seo Taiji, BTS, and Fumble One Jongdae, and he completed a more eerie and new horror paradigm based on his unique sensual visual beauty.
