Kang Dong-won Joins Song Hye-kyo and Jeon Yeo-been in 'Dark Nuns'
Brace yourselves—'Dark Nuns' isn’t just another film; it’s a global phenomenon in the making. Song Hye-kyo’s long-awaited return to the big screen has already dominated the buzz, but now, with Kang Dong-won’s surprise cameo, the stakes are higher than ever. Fans are ready to witness this electrifying collaboration as the film gears up for its January 24 KST release.
At a press screening held on January 20 at Megabox Coex in Seoul, the cast and director unveiled more than just the usual pre-release hype. Kang Dong-won, who famously played Deacon Choi in the cult classic 'The Priests,' is reportedly stepping back into the priestly robes for a guest appearance that sent the internet into a frenzy.
Also Reported by News1, Jeon Yeo-been, in an interview on 21st, describing her on-set reaction to Kang, quipped, “When he walked in wearing the priestly robes, I thought flowers were blooming around him. I even wondered if they’d turned on a special spotlight just for him. His look was perfection, and filming with him felt like a visual treat.” Fans couldn’t agree more—seeing Kang Dong-won alongside Song Hye-kyo and Jeon Yeo-been feels like a cinematic blessing.
But that’s not all. 'Dark Nuns' is part of a larger narrative universe tied to 'The Priests,' hinting at an expanded lore that has fans clamoring for more. When asked about this potential crossover, Jeon Yeo-been carefully teased, that the possibility is open.
The buzz surrounding the film is not just domestic. Even before its premiere, 'Dark Nuns' has been sold to over 160 countries, making it one of the most anticipated Korean releases in recent memory. Starting with Indonesia, Taiwan, and Mongolia on January 24, the film will roll out globally in a series of back-to-back launches, reaching Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam by mid-February. Domestically, it has already claimed the No. 1 spot in advance ticket sales.
'Dark Nuns' dives deep into the story of those who dare to perform a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. Produced by the team behind 'The Priests,' 'Default,' and 'Broker,' the film pushes the boundaries of Korean occult cinema with its bold narrative and magnetic cast.
Song Hye-kyo and Jeon Yeo-been’s on-screen chemistry promises to deliver chills, while Kang Dong-won’s appearance is the cherry on top of this cinematic event. With its global release and massive pre-release buzz, 'Dark Nuns' is not just a film—it’s an experience.
