Lee Chang-dong's "Burning", Yoo Ah-in, Steven Yeun and Jeon Jong-seo

The line-up for Lee Chang-dong's latest "Burning" are Yoo Ah-in, Steven Yeun and Jeon Jong-seo. Because Korean-American Steven Yeun wasn't at the opening ceremony wishing "Burning" success, many were curious about his involvement with the film. Steven Yeun is one of the main actors of the American drama "Walking Dead" and recently starred in "Okja" by Bong Joon-ho.

Yoo Ah-in takes on the role of Jong-soo, a sensitive character who tries to solve the mystery about his girlfriend. This is his first time working with Lee Chang-dong.

Steven Yeun takes on the role of mysterious man Ben. He had mentioned in previous interviews that he always wanted to work with director Lee Chang-dong and he's finally got his wish.

Jeon Jong-seo is the leading female character named Hae-mi. Her role requires a certain amount of exposure, so an audition was held for it. Jeon Jong-seo doesn't have much experience but her mysterious mask and performance got her the role.

"Burning" began filming last week and will be released early next year.
