Other cast members of the movie include Ma Dong-suk and Daniel Choi.

As for Park, 25, the public began to acknowledge him after he played a supporting role in the SBS drama “One Warm Word.”

He then became the nation’s heartthrob through his role in the recent rom-com drama with Uhm.

“Chronicles of Evil” will start filming in June.
