Actor Heo Gwanghan (Xu Guanghan, 33) made his third visit to Korea this year with the film 'Marry My Dead Body'.

On the afternoon of the 12th, Heo Gwanghan greeted fans at the press screening of the film 'Marry My Dead Body' (hereafter 'Memadeba') held at CGV Yongsan in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, saying, "I am happy to be back in Korea and grateful to the fans."

'Marry My Dead Body', which opens at CGV on the 17th, is a comic action blockbuster film about the unique human-ghost cooperative investigation between the hot-blooded detective Wu Minghan (Heo Gwanghan) and the wrongfully deceased spirit Maomao (Im Baekgwang).

Heo Gwanghan, who led the 'Shang Qin Zhi' (2019?2020) craze with 'Shang Qin Zhi' fans, and Im Baekgwang (Lin Baihong), who built a solid domestic fandom with 'Romance of Eccentrics' (2021), teamed up as Wu Minghan and Maomao.

Having been loved as a 'male god' in many romance works, Heo Gwanghan shows a new side as a detective in 'Memadeba'. He said, "After receiving the script, I felt I needed muscles to portray the role," adding, "I worked hard at the gym to increase my muscle mass."

Heo Gwanghan in comedy is also intriguing. He said, "The comedy genre was a big challenge for me. Leading and adjusting was difficult, but I was happy to be able to enjoy making it on set."

Will we be able to see Heo Gwanghan in domestic productions? When asked about his willingness to appear, he answered in Korean, "Of course." He then expressed his determination, saying, "If I get the chance, I definitely want to appear. Before that, I plan to improve my Korean skills."
