[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The production company Ouyunaegang's new work "Possession" began filming on the 14th.

On the 19th, CJ ENM announced that "Possession" (director Kim Seongsik, working title) has cast Kang Dongwon, Heo Junho, Esom, Lee Donghwi, and Kim Jongsu and started shooting.

The film tells the story of fake exorcist Dr. Cheon (Kang Dongwon), who cannot see or hear ghosts but solves various cases with ghost-like insight, and begins when he is commissioned to handle a powerful possession case unlike any he has experienced before. It is the directorial debut of Kim Seongsik, who served as assistant director on "Parasite," "Decision to Leave," and "Deliver Us from Evil."

Kang Dongwon plays Dr. Cheon, the eldest grandson of the head family who has protected the village for generations but now runs an exorcism channel. He has been performing fake rituals based on the belief that he deals with people's hearts, not ghosts, but his character changes after being commissioned to handle the case of a girl possessed by a powerful entity.

He said, "I had a great first shoot because I worked well with the director and everyone else. Since it is an interesting work, I think we can enjoy the process on set as well."

Heo Junho plays Beomcheon, who hunts shamans' spiritual powers by any means necessary, and Esom plays Yukyung, who seeks out Dr. Cheon to save her possessed younger sister. Lee Donghwi was chosen for the role of Inbae, Dr. Cheon's partner, also known as Gang Doryeong.
