TVXQ’s Yunho, Lee Yeon Hee And Hong Jong Hyun Join The Cast Of Movie “Race” — Netizens In Doubt
TVXQ‘s Yunho will soon be making his return to the big screen. As his last acting work was five years ago with K-Drama Meloholic, many were anticipating his next work. On June 2, 2022, it was reported that he would be joining the upcoming movie, Race, as the male lead. It is about the digital generation that lives in a rat race.
He will be playing the CEO of a communication and PR company, Seo Dong Hoon. He was born in America but schooled in South Korea before doing a degree in design in New York. After graduate school, he started working in PR before becoming the CEO of the company.
His female lead will be played by Lee Yeon Hee. Lee Yeon Hee plays Park Yoon Jo, who strives to be a self-made woman despite her family background. Hong Jong Hyun will play Ryu Jae Min, a warm and smart person who seeks to create a better world. They enter a love triangle in the office with Seo Dong Hoon.
Despite the exciting casting and storyline, viewers are already in doubt about the movie. All three actors have been known to get into controversy due to their poor acting skills. “Bad acting” reels have often been compiled for Lee Yeon Hee and Yunho.
On the other hand, Hong Jong Hyun had roots in modeling before making a switch to acting. He has a steady resume of many supporting roles including in Moon Lovers, My Absolute Boyfriend, and more.
Netizens expressed their disbelief and doubt at the confirmed casting.
