Cha Seung-won, represented by YG Entertainment, has announced that he will be starring in the Netflix film 'Jeon, Ran' with Park Chan-wook directing and Kim Sang-man directing the screenplay.

'Jeon, Ran' is set in the chaotic era of the Japanese invasions of Korea, depicting the story of Jong-ryeo (played by Park Jung-min), the son of the most prestigious military household in Joseon, and his loyal bodyguard Cheon-yeong (played by Kang Dong-won), who become enemies as they join forces with Sunjo (played by Cha Seung-won), a high-ranking court official and rebel.

Cha Seung-won will portray King Sunjo, who flees the country and abandons his people when the war breaks out, only to focus on rebuilding the king's authority after the war. He will skillfully portray the dark side of a ruler in turbulent times, adding tension to the film.

With his overwhelming charisma that dominated the screen in films like 'The Man Standing Next' and 'Night in Paradise,' Cha Seung-won captivated audiences with his terrifying presence. In the film 'Sinkhole,' he brought a warm touch to the character of a neighbor, drawing the audience closer.

In the drama 'One Day,' he created a fascinating eccentric lawyer character who seamlessly transitioned between comedy and tragedy, while in the drama 'Blues of Our Lives,' his emotive acting left a deep impression. In the drama 'Hwajung,' he received praise for his portrayal of a lonely and isolated character in a unique interpretation of King Gwanghae. Therefore, there is great anticipation for Cha Seung-won's portrayal of King Sunjo.

With his ability to create diverse and ever-changing characters in each project, Cha Seung-won has consistently captivated viewers, and his collaboration with director Park Chan-wook, who skillfully portrays the actor's charm with elegant mise-en-scène and delicate direction, raises curiosity about the explosive synergy they will bring forth.
