Kim Dong-hwi cast as lead actor in ‘Comment Unit’

Actor Kim Dong-hwi has confirmed his appearance in the movie 'Comment Unit' and will be co-starring with actor Son Seok-gu.

As a result of Ten Asia's coverage on the 27th, Kim Dong-hwi has been cast as the lead in the movie 'Comment Unit' and is planning to collaborate with Son Seok-gu, who has confirmed his appearance.

The movie 'Comment Unit' is based on the novel 'Comment Unit' of the same name by author Jang Kang-myeong and deals with the National Intelligence Service's illegal election intervention case as a motif. It contains the story of those who infiltrated Internet sites amidst political conflict, manipulated public opinion with malicious comments, and attempted to neutralize the sites.

Director Ahn Gook-jin, who directed 'Alice in Earnestland', is taking the lead and is planning a crank-in film this coming spring.

Kim Dong-hwi, who debuted in the 2014 film 'The Councilman', emerged as an actor who is attracting attention as a leading actor in 'A Christmas Carol' following 'The Mathematician in Wonderland' last year. He is a rising star who swept the Best New Actor Award at the 43rd Blue Dragon Film Awards in 2022 and the Best New Actor Award at the 27th Chunsa International Film Festival through 'The Mathematician in Wonderland'.

Kim Dong-hwi is currently meeting viewers as the lead role of Oh Ji-yong in tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Missing: They Were There 2'.
