Joo Jong Hyuk Confirmed To Join Go Ah Sung In New Film

“Extraordinary Attorney Woo” star Joo Jong Hyuk has joined Go Ah Sung in the new film “Because I Hate Korea” (literal title)!

Based on the novel of the same name, “Because I Hate Korea” is a film which tells the story of Gye Na (Go Ah Sung), who is in her late 20s and suddenly leaves her job, her family, and her boyfriend behind, heading for New Zealand alone in search of her own happiness.

Joo Jong Hyuk will play a pivotal role in the film by taking on the role of Jae In, a free-spirited, honest, and bright character. As Gye Na’s classmate from a study abroad agency and best friend, Jae In brings about changes in Gye Na’s life while she lives in New Zealand.

Joo Jong Hyuk remarked, “I enjoyed reading the original novel, and I also respect director Jang Geon Jae so much that I watched all of his independent feature films, so I feel honored to be able to work together on this project. I am also looking forward to acting together with senior actress Go Ah Sung. In particular, I studied in New Zealand when I was in high school, so filming there holds great meaning to me. I will prepare well and show a good performance.”

Joo Jong Hyuk impressed through his character Kwon Min Woo in the drama “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” last year and recently starred in “Do You Know Ashtanga?” as part of the “2022 KBS Drama Special.” This year, his upcoming kendo film “1/10,000 Seconds” awaits its theater release.
