Top Korean actor Hwang Jung-min has been set to star in an upcoming pic helmed by famed director Kang Woo-suk of "Moss."

The film's promoter, Cinema Bus, announced on Wednesday that Hwang will grace the silver screen for Kang's new action feature "Legend of the Fist" (translated title) set to crank in this July.

Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, "Fist" will portray Hwang, Yoo Joon-sang, Yoon Je-moon, Yoo Hae-jin and Jung Woong-in as a group of people who used to be called 'legends' during their school days.

In the movie, the main characters take part in a real action fighting program to select a winner that receives an award for each game.

Hwang debuted through a musical in 1994 and has been active mainly on the big screen with his notable works such as “You’re My Sunshine” (2005), “A Man Who Was Superman” (2008), “The Unjust” (2010) and "Moby Dick" (2011).

He last starred in CSTV's "Korean Peninsula" and in the hit movie "Dancing Queen" with actress Uhm Jung-hwa.
