'Made in Itaewon' is a coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of Itaewon during the 1998 IMF crisis.

This role marks another transformation in Koo's acting career. This year, he has also announced roles in the drama 'Let's Divorce', the Netflix series 'Square', and the Wavve original drama 'Reverse'.

'Made in Itaewon' began filming today (8th) and is aiming for a release next year.
