Jun Hyosung In Talks To Lead New Film Based On True Crime
Jun Hyosung is considering a major film role!
On August 1, OSEN reported that Jun Hyosung has been cast as the lead in the upcoming film “Bound to be a Devil” (literal title), inspired by a notorious crime in Busan, South Korea, which sparked national outrage two years ago.
In response to the report, a representative from Jun Hyosung’s agency Alien Company shared, “It is true that she has received an offer to star in ‘Bound to be a Devil.’ She is currently reviewing the offer positively.”
Jun Hyosung is reportedly being offered the role of the victim. If confirmed, this would mark her first leading role in a film in her 15-year career since debuting with the girl group SECRET in 2009.
“Bound to be a Devil” is based on a shocking true crime that occurred in May 2022, when a man in his 30s, known as A, brutally attacked a stranger, B, at the entrance of her apartment in Busan. The crime sparked public outrage after CCTV footage revealed A following, kicking, and dragging the victim’s body into a blind spot.
The film is expected to delve into the broader issues of random assaults and societal retaliation in Korea, incorporating elements from the Busan incident. Notably, the real-life victim has been involved as a consultant for the film’s script.
“Bound to be a Devil” is scheduled to start filming in mid-August and aims for a release next year.
