On the 19th, a Chungmuro* rep said Park Yuchun has recently confirmed acting in ‘Sea Fog’ and is in the process of signing the contract. He was in discussion with the production team for a long period and has finally confirmed that he will act in it. His role is as sailor/seaman Dong Shik, with veteran actor Kim Yoon-seok as the captain; it is a charismatic role desired by many actors in the 20s and 30s. Filming is expected to start in mid October.
‘Sea Fog’ will be produced by Bong Joon-ho, the director of box office hit ‘Snowpiercer’ and this will be his first production. It will be directed by Shim Sung-bo, the screenwriter for ‘Memories of Murder’ and it will be his directing debut. The story is based on the original 2007 stage play of the same name and is about the crew of a ship dealing with stowaways in the open sea. The huge production costs being invested in this large-scale work of high expectations, the Chungmuro representative veteran actor Kim Yoon-seok, and Park Yuchun who beat many candidates to land the role, are drawing much attention.

[NEWS] Park Yoo Chun to Make Big Screen Debut with “Sea Fog”
JYJ‘s Park Yoo Chun will be making his big screen debut!
Park Yoo Chun has been cast as the male lead for “Sea Fog,” which is directed byShim Sung Bo and produced by the famous Bong Joon Ho (“The Host,” “Snow Piercer”).
On August 19, film industry insiders revealed that Park Yoo Chun has made his final decision and is looking to sign the contract. One particular source spoke with OSEN and said, “After a long-time discussion, Park Yoo Chun has confirmed to join the film cast and is working out the details of the contract.”
Park Yoo Chun will be playing a sailor named Dong Shik, who works under the ship’s captain, played by Kim Yoon Suk. It is reported that the role of Dong Shik is so attractive that many male actors in their twenties and thirties wanted it but lost it to Park Yoo Chun.
This will be Park Yoo Chun’s first step into the film industry after successful runs in the K-dramaland. He has made special appearances in films in the past but this will be his first official leading role in a film.
Park Yoo Chun has proven his exceptional acting skills in dramas such as “I Miss You,” “Rooftop Prince,” and “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” and has finally ventured into the big screen market.
Meanwhile, “Sea Fog” will be produced by Bong Joon Ho, who is currently seeing much success with “Snow Piercer.” “Sea Fog” will be directed by Shim Sung Bo, who worked on “Memories of Murder” in the past. “Sea Fog” is based on a 2007 play and is about a certain ship and its crew out on the vast sea. It is to start filming in the middle of October.

I know I shouldn’t but still…first this movie like this don’t have much room for misstates like dramas, heavy investment, awesome casts, more pps looking more high expectations… worry same as very time the boys give a other step… LOL poor me ^___^

I Like SJK too, and thank to him. YC have a good change to debut ^___^
yuchun hwaiting!!miss you so..
Wow sounds like some heavy stuff here, but a very good opportunity to showcase his acting chops. Go Yoochun!
Quote from Soompi news:
” It is reported that the role of Dong Shik is so attractive that many male actors in their twenties and thirties wanted it but lost it to Park Yoo Chun”.
yeahhh….congrats Yuchun !!!!!
correct if i was not mistaken it was offered to song jong ki but he will enlist to military this coming august…
so congrat’s to Yoochun…
@miyaka
yes the role first offered to Song Joongki.. but it seem he can’t continued it bcoz he will enlist to military this august 27th..
btw, congratz to Yoochun, he beat many candidates to replacing Song Joongki!
Frankly, SKJ is completely out of this movie casts and no need to mention here. As the news posted, Yuchun was the one who beat many candidates to land the role…
It’s funny to read the commands here keep bringing up SJK and his related news to the movie is not even a bit being released by the production teams…roll my eyes!!!
Who is Song Jong Ki?
He must be very important to be mentioned here. Anyhow, really happy for this news!
JYJ fighting!!
Song jong ki..now he like the most popular actor or something…used to act with yoochun in skks
he is also the male lead in ‘Innocent Man’ which is our dear junsu song ‘Love is like the Snowflake’ as it ost.. Big hit drama.. Yes Song Jong Ki is the most popular young actor nowaday
Bong Joon-Ho? OMG!!
Yay! I’m so happy to be see this article! To be honest, I was worried that he hadn’t been cast in a drama this season. But this is fantastic news! Can’t wait!
The movie plot sounds really sad and dramatic, but all the more props to Yoochun to snag this great acting opportunity!
Congraz Yuchunnie!! Really happy for you ^^
I’m very happy to know that our Chunnie goes to debut in big screen … He is always the best … i’m very anxious to see our love Micky (~.~)
Congrats Yuchun-ah, stay healthy, reading the plot, I guess it’s gonna be a challenging filming condition… Please show the best acting, and I know you will…
sound good! cant wait to see him in the big screen. congrats Yoochun!
Yoochun, congratulations!! This is so exciting, your first movie. And with Bong Joon-ho! He is so awesome, his movies keep you watching, the way he uses sound and focus, every detail perfect, he’s just brilliant, and with unexpected endings, can’t wait to see this. I love his movies, I read a while back about this, thought it was with sjk but it’s yoochun wow!
Good Luck, I know this will be a mega hit.
@IjyjNjoy
The fact that it’s offered to SJK after his blockbuster movie Werewolf Boy and hit drama Nice Guy, so it must be HUGE.
I was also surprise of sudden SJK enlistment, it was denied before because of this movie. And it’s great it goes to YC, it looks like a jackpot for a debut onscreen.
I hope the movie is good/interesting the plot seems a little boring but I am anticipating it, The good thing is that a movie recording is not as exacting as as a drama and the premiere is in 2014 so ever better because it will not interfere with JYJ comeback (if they decide to)..do well yoochun!
If check out the production team, this is a brilliant project for Yuchun’s debut in the movie market and I agree with what @ljyjNjoy said ‘this will be a mega hit’
This might be the best thing i’ve heard in months. *weeps vigorously*
I’ve been stressing over my final exam, which is just a month away. Reading this just sparks a little bit of happiness inside my chest. Thank you, thank you T.T
Reblogged this on JYJ's Fan Worlds.
Congrats on landing the role Yoochun! I’m looking forward to seeing you shine on the big-screen! 🙂
Yay! New JYJ concert!!!! ❤ (So far every time Yoochun had drama shooting, there was always a concert in the middle of it XD )

Congrats YC I am so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YC is an amazing actor and this sounds like it will be a great challanging role for him!!!!!!!!! I am wishing him great success!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems like George Clooney’s movie “The perfect storm”, it was also the movie on based true story, very sad ending… Anyway, finally we’ll soon see Yoochun appearance and his great acting through this high expectations movie.
Keep you spirit high Mr. Park Yoochun…. we love you
Yes boy did I love The Perfect Storm! It’s so intense and I couldn’t stop crying in the end…sigh…
The first thing that come to mind reading the plot…this gonna be great tbh.
GO CHUNNIE GOOOOOOOOO! Oh I’m too excited right now…I have tears in my eyes…sniff..

OMG!! Yoochunnieeee. Good good! I wanna watch!! Please let it be released in my country like how Jackal was!!
i have a freaking great feeling about this!!!!!! cant wait!!
Just curious though.. Why haven’t jyj3 posted any articles about dispatch? Can’t find any here. I mean why hide it? Don’t jyj fans need to know what is going on with JYJ whether good or bad? Otherwise how will we support them when other fandoms know more about JYJ’s scandals than we do? We have to defend them. Even if we disagree with the article and it makes us sad/mad, I think fans have the right to know when JYJ are being attacked.
What’s the purpose to post an atacked article in an official JYJ website? to gather more hates or to spread negative news among the fandoms at the time when Yuchun obtained a great role for his Movie debut?
Sometime I wonder such a suggest is actually to show hates or loves?
Seriously, Director Bong Joon Ho is really no jokes together with Kim Yoon Seok..It shows that they trust our Yoochun so much to ask him join this movie..Yes, I trust u Yoochun, always! All the best bebeh^^
