Singer-actor Jeong Jin-woon will return to the big screen as a rookie cop in the crime action film, "Brother," three months after starring in his first full-length horror film, "Only I Can See."
In the upcoming film, Jeong will play the role of Kang-soo, a righteous cop who unexpectedly joins hands with gang boss Yong-sik (Jo Jae-yun). Director Shin Keun-ho, well-known for his previous film, "Romantic Debtors," (2010) directed the flick.
"The two characters engage in a mind game as well as show off their fast-moving fight scenes and chase scenes to compel audiences to see through the eyes of Kang-soo or Yong-sik," the production team said.
Jeong debuted as a member of the four-member group, 2AM, in 2008 with the ballad, "This Song," which led the group to stardom. The group has released a string of hits, including, "I Was Wrong" and "Like Crazy" (2010).
He started acting in 2012 through a lead role in the teen series, "Dream High 2." Jeong has starred in several TV series, including "Marriage, Not Dating," (2014) and did voice work for the animated film, "Epic," in 2013.
The 30-year-old actor will next be seen in another film by director Shin, "I Am Here," in which he stars alongside Jo Han-sun, Jung Tae-woo and Noh Susanna.
"Brother" will hit local theaters in October.
