DAY OF REVERSAL Lures Yet Another Korean Star to China

Actor LEE Jung-jae is set to become the latest Korean star to enter the Chinese film industry after signing the dotted line on the upcoming China-Korea co-production Day of Reversal (translated title). LEE follows other Korean film luminaries such as SONG Hye-kyo, KWON Sang-woo, SON Ye-jin and more, who have taken part in Chinese productions in recent years.

According to his agency, LEE took part in the closing ceremony of the Beijing International Film Festival on April 23rd in order to promote the upcoming project, during which time he also met with the film’s director LI Jun to prepare for the production. With the story mainly set in Korea, the project will shoot on the peninsula at various locations for two months this summer.

Having recently starred in films such as The Thieves (2012), New World (2013), The Face Reader (2013) and Big Match, LEE will next be seen among the cast of CHOI Dong-hoon’s Assassination this summer. Though he has been offered parts in third kingdom projects before, Day of Reversal will mark LEE’s first foray into the Chinese market.

Day of Reversal will be produced by major film studio China Film Group Corporation.
