[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The film 'Boss' has cast actors Jo Woo-jin, Jung Kyung-ho, Park Ji-hwan, and Lee Kyu-hyung, and is set to begin filming in the first half of next year, Hybe Media Corp announced on the 25th.

'Boss' (working title, directed by Ra Hee-chan) is a comic action film depicting the desperate battle among members of the Sikkupa, the largest organization in Yongdu City, who fiercely compete to yield the boss position to each other for their own dreams ahead of the selection of the next boss. The production team expressed their anticipation, saying, "The diverse characters' stories unfolding over the next boss position are interesting and immersive."

Jo Woo-jin plays Soon-tae, the number two of the organization who reluctantly joined the group to support the third-generation Chinese restaurant Mimilu and grew to become the second-in-command, but now wants to succeed with the Chinese restaurant franchise instead of becoming the organization's boss. Jung Kyung-ho takes on the role of Kang-pyo, another candidate for the next boss and the grandson of the Sikkupa founder, who dealt with a traitor for the organization. Additionally, Oh Dal-su portrays In-sul, the organization's brain and real power, and Hwang Woo-seul-hye plays Ji-young, Soon-tae's wife and the key figure of Mimilu.
