[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Choyoung] Actors Son Byungho and Lee Jihoon, who are active in dramas and musicals, have been suddenly cast in the movie 'Idol Recipe' (directed by Peter Lee) and will begin filming from the 20th.
Son Byungho, who played major roles in the dramas 'Hush' and 'Secret Royal Inspector,' and Lee Jihoon, a 25-year veteran singer and actor who has showcased his acting skills through over 30 top musicals such as 'Elisabeth' and 'Kinky Boots,' will meet for the first time in a film with 'Idol Recipe' and deliver a fiery performance.
The movie 'Idol Recipe' is a human comic music film about an unknown idol group 'Bella,' which became a ragtag team due to neglect from their agency, who, after conflicts with their ruthless manager Bae Jaesung?who tried to sell them off?achieve harmony and eventually succeed in entering the Billboard charts.
In the film, Son Byungho and Lee Jihoon play the roles of Oh Eokman, a thug agency CEO, and Bae Jaesung, the manager who tries to sell the idol group he raised for a large sum of money, respectively.
In the story, Lee Jihoon successfully arranges a 1 billion won under-the-table deal to transfer Bella, who is on the verge of disbandment, to another company, but due to drinking excessively, he cannot remember the events of one night and retraces his steps toward the truth.
Meanwhile, as the movie title suggests, the large appearance of current and former idols raises expectations. Confirmed cast members include actress Hee, formerly of Dal Shabet, who has been steadily acting, as well as Kenta (JBJ95), Moon Jongup (BAP), Sohee (ELRIS), Yoo Hoyoun (Noir), and Nahyun (former SONAMOO).
