2PM's Taecyeon Confirmed For His First Historical Film Role

2PM’s Taecyeon will be appearing in a new film!

On May 7, a source from his agency told DongA.com, “Ok Taecyeon will be taking on his first sageuk [historical/period drama] role in ‘Hansan.'”

Directed by Kim Han Min, “Hansan” (working title) is a film about the Battle of Hansan Island, a naval battle between the Japanese and Korean fleets that took place on Hansan Island in 1592. Taecyeon will be playing the role of Im Joon Young, one of the members of the Korean naval forces.

Although Taecyeon has taken on acting roles across multiple genres since his debut, this will be his first role in a historical or period-era project.

Other cast members include Park Hae Il, Byun Yo Han, and Kim Sung Kyu. Filming will begin in the second half of this year.
