Lee Seon-kyun announces his next project
by | October 29, 2010 | 17 Comments

Looks like the Voice is trying to break a new record for most projects in a year. Not that I’m complaining! But doesn’t the guy ever take a vacation? Lee Seon-kyun has announced his next project, a movie co-starring Park Joong-hoon (Haeundae), due out next spring.

This time he’ll be playing a detective, in a comedy called King of Arrests. Park will play his rival, also a cop. They race against each other to catch a serial rapist, called the Trenchcoat Man, and try to outdo each other to become the precinct’s King of Arrests.

I like the premise of two cops being so engrossed in beating each other that they let the case go awry. Sounds slightly dark and potentially very funny. Or maybe I just like comedies where characters are petty and egomaniacal. Because more to laugh at, yeah?

Lee Seon-kyun spent this past year as a pasta chef (Pasta), a PD (Our Slightly Risque Relationship), a film student (Oki’s Movie), and an adult comics writer (Petty Romance, due out November). Whew! It seems his year would be incomplete if he didn’t also play a cop.

King of Arrests is slated for an April 2011 premiere.

    I love the Voice and I like his projects, but this -a comedy with skits and funny bits but it’s still centered on a serial rapist- is not exactly like something I can get behind. Or rather, I’d totally watch the comedy cos it sounds fun,but man, couldn’t they leave the serial rapist bit alone? This (tone not appropriate to the theme) is the same problem I run into every now and then. :///

      I hear ya, unni. Hopefully they’ll be able to make the rape part more serious, otherwise I’m going to have a problem with it as well. Rape is never funny, no matter how cleverly written. :/

    serial rapist and comedy does not belong together.

    I would have preferred something more like drama-romance if I talk about Lee Seon Kyun, but he always chooses good projects. Definitely, very happy to see him again. Great actor, great personality and VERY sexy voice. :-) . Looking forward to April!!!

    I guess when a guy needs income to feed his wife and kids, he cannot take any time off…… :-)

    This sounds a fun movie. Has he got his baby now? Maybe he’s working more this year to be a full-time dad next year.

    Park Joong-hoon!! I was just rewatching “My Ganster like Lover” today. What a coincidence. Not to mention he looks adorable with the umbrella.
