Kim Seon-ho's Vacancy Filled by Lee Hyun-woo... 'Dog Days' Cranks In Late December

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Lee Hyun-woo will take over the role vacated by actor Kim Seon-ho, who stepped down amid privacy controversies.

CJ ENM announced on the 14th, "The movie 'Dog Days' (working title) has cast Yoo Hae-jin, Youn Yuh-jung, Kim Yoon-jin, Jung Sung-hwa, Kim Seo-hyung, Lee Hyun-woo, and Tang Jun-sang," adding, "We have begun full-scale preparations for filming and will start shooting at the end of this month."

'Dog Days' is a film depicting the story of people connected through their pet dogs at a veterinary hospital where not a single day goes by peacefully, as they get to know, comfort, and share their hearts with each other. It is the debut work of director Kim Deok-min, who was assistant director for 'Hero' and 'Keys to the Heart.'

Yoo Hae-jin plays Minsang, the building owner of the veterinary hospital who is extremely averse to dogs, and acts alongside Kim Seo-hyung. Youn Yuh-jung, the first Korean to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for 'Minari,' appears as Yeo-jeong, a leading architect in Korea who lives alone with her pet dog Wanda.

Kim Yoon-jin and Jung Sung-hwa portray beginner parents Jeong-ah and Seon-yong, who welcome their long-awaited daughter through adoption. Additionally, Kim Seo-hyung transforms into Jin-young, a veterinarian running the animal hospital, showcasing a simple and humane charm.

Lee Hyun-woo plays Hyun, a guitarist who takes care of his girlfriend's pet dog Sting after she leaves far away, and Tang Jun-sang appears as Jin-woo, who lives each day sprinting through his delivery part-time job, acting alongside Youn Yuh-jung.
