Go Yoon Jung has officially joined the cast of the upcoming film “Nambeol”, adding more attention to the project after Lee Byung Hun was previously confirmed.
On July 7, production company Hive Media Corp announced that Go Yoon Jung will appear in the film. Lee Byung Hun was earlier confirmed to play Im Eok, the leader of the warriors.
In “Nambeol”, Go Yoon Jung will play Ae Ryeong, a woman who loses her family after an attack by Japanese pirates. To save her younger sibling, who is being held on Tsushima Island, she chooses to enter the battlefield herself.
