Choi Ye-bin Cast in Thriller Film 'Goblin: The Body Snatcher'

Actress Choi Ye-bin has been cast in the thriller film 'Goblin: The Body Snatcher.' Choi has been making a name for herself in the thriller genre, and this role could solidify her status as an 'irreplaceable actress' in the field.

According to TenAsia's report on the 15th, Choi Ye-bin recently confirmed her participation in the occult horror film 'Goblin: The Body Snatcher,' which is currently in production. Choi has previously excelled in the mystery thriller genre, leading to her casting in this project.

'Goblin: The Body Snatcher' is a horror film inspired by the Korean folktale 'The Old Man with a Lump.' It features a terminally ill blonde rocker, a mysterious girl, and a peculiar blue-eyed child, all entangled in bizarre events.

Choi Ye-bin gained attention in 2020 for her role in SBS's 'Penthouse,' where she played Ha Eun-byeol, the daughter striving to meet the expectations of her famous opera singer mother, Cheon Seo-jin (played by Kim So-yeon). Despite it being her drama debut, she left a strong impression with her compelling performance.

Choi is known for her detailed acting, particularly her expressive facial performances in 'Penthouse,' where she portrayed the mentally fragile yet intense Ha Eun-byeol. Her meticulous portrayal, such as constantly brushing her hair when anxious, received praise.

In 2023, Choi ventured into the high-teen mystery thriller genre with U+ Mobile TV's 'The Night Has Come.' Her transformative acting led to reactions like "I didn't recognize her as Ha Eun-byeol." She also tackled the mystery thriller genre again with KBS2's 'Perfect Family,' which concluded last year.

With her consistent 'thriller fit,' Choi Ye-bin is recognized in the film industry for her adeptness in thriller roles. Her ability to convey both calm and eerie atmospheres makes her well-suited for mystery thrillers, according to industry insiders. All eyes are on whether this project will cement this perception.

Choi Ye-bin continues to shine on both the big and small screens. She was previously cast as the lead in the film 'Hurdle' and now continues her cinematic journey with the announcement of her role in 'Goblin: The Body Snatcher.'
