Korean actors Kim Yun-seok and Yoo A-in have begun shooting their upcoming new film tentatively titled "Wandukgi," according to the film's promoter First Look on Tuesday.

First Look announced through a press release that production for movie "Wandukgi" cranked in at a high school in Seoul of South Korea on February 27, while the film is set to open in theaters during the latter half of the year.

"Wandukgi," originally based on a novel written by Kim Ryeo-ryoung, tells about a high school student named Do Wan-duk (played by Yoo), from a poor household, that gets into fights at school, while Kim will play the role of his homeroom teacher named Lee Dong-joo.

Yoo, 24, has appeared in a number of dramas including "April Kiss (KBS, 2004)" and "Man Who Can't Get Married (KBS, 2009)" and movies such as "Antique (2009)" alongside Joo Ji-hoon and Kim Jae-wook.

His popularity shot recently after playing the role of Moon Jae-shin in the popular KBS series "SungKyunKwan Scandal" with Park Yuchun, Park Min-young and Song Joong-ki.

Kim Yeon-suk made his debut in theater in 2008. He has since starred in a number of dramas and movies such as "Thank You, My Life (KBS, 2006)" and films including "All For Love (2005)," "The Chaser (2008)" and "WOOCHI (2009)."
