According to his management Key East, Ju Ji-hoon, who is currently being treated for his vocal chord problems, has confirmed to star in the movie "I Am a King".
Based in the Chosun era, "I Am a King" is about King Sejong exchanging identities with a beggar in order to experience new people and have a social life before becoming King. Director Jang Gyu-sung (43) has the call on this one.
Ju Ji-hoon is Sejong in this drama. He will play the roles of both beggar and king, with the movie shooting in February.
Ju Ji-hoon was to comeback with musical "Doctor Zhivago" after his discharge from the military in November, but he couldn't take part in rehearsals because of his vocal cord problems.
