He will take on the role of trainer for Yoo Seung-ho and act the evil character. He perfectly constructed the wicked characters of prosecutor Cha Dong-yeong in "The Attorney" and Jang Dong-sik, the private moneylender in 'Tazza: The Hidden Card' last year.

He won Best Supporting Actor award from the 34th Korean Movie Critics Association Awards for his role in "The Attorney" and has been receiving multiple offers for various movies so far. As 'The Wailing' directed by Na Hong-jin is on a roll completing the last stages of filming, 'The Joseon Magician' will be able to start filming sometime in the first half of this year.

'The Joseon Magician' drew much attention by casting Yoo Seung-ho and Go Ara as the leads. It is Yoo Seung-ho's first movie after he was dismissed from military service. Director Kim Dae-seung of 'Bungee Jumping of their Own' and "The Concubine" will direct the movie. The film unfolds a series of events following the Joseon's top magician falling dangerously in love with a woman.
