Actor Kang Ha-neul has confirmed his lead role in the new thriller film, “Streaming,” and is set to begin filming, according to the film's distributor Lotte Entertainment Tuesday.
This film will be the actor's first thriller in nearly four years, since he played the lead in the thriller-mystery film, “Forgotten” (2017), a story about a man uncovering the truth behind his brother's kidnapping.
“Streaming” revolves around the concept of live-streaming the search for a serial killer. Kang will play a popular live-streaming broadcaster who has the most followers on the platform. His channel specializes in criminal profiling and covering crime-related mystery cases.
The story follows his live-streaming videos as he chases a trail of evidence in pursuit of the murderer.
The film is written and directed by the filmmaker, Cho Jang-ho, best known for writing mystery novels like, “The Rapture 1992,” and “Justice” ― which was made into a TV series with the same name.
Kang debuted in 2006 with the musical, “The Watch,” and took his first screen role in the family drama, “My Mom! Super Mom!” the following year. His breakout role came in 2019 with, “When the Camilla Blooms,” which won him several awards, including a KBS Drama Award and Baeksang Arts Award.
He finished filming the second series of the action film, “The Pirates,” early this year, and is also set to star in JTBC's upcoming suspense action series, “Insider.”
