Update: Kim Kwon Joins Kim Sae Ron, Lee Dong Gun, And Jeon Hye Bin In "Leverage" Remake

Updated August 29 KST: 

Actor Kim Kwon has joined the TV Chosun drama “Leverage: Con Artists” (literal title) as security specialist Roy Ryu.

TV Chosun confirmed the casting and said, “Roy Ryu is a security specialist and a fighter whose strength makes him into a human weapon. When he was young, he was adopted by a family in the United States and became a mercenary specializing in various forms of martial arts. He only cares about getting rewarded for his skills and does not trust other people or believe in things like justice or loyalty. However, he sometimes shows an unexpected soft side like when he adopts a puppy abandoned on the battlefield.”

Kim Kwon last appeared in the KBS drama “He Is Psychometric” earlier this year.

“Leverage” is a Korean remake of the American TV series “Leverage” and tells the story of a former insurance investigator who leads a team of thieves and con artists in targeting the wealthy and corrupt. It is scheduled to premiere on October 13.
