Asian directors and actors, including Jung Hae-in and Go Kyung-Pyo, will gather at the ‘Disney Contents Showcase’ held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.
The Walt Disney Company Asia Pacific (APAC) announced on the 29th that it will hold a blue carpet event at Marina Bay Sands on the afternoon of the 30th (local time).
On this day, director Kang Yoon-Seong, who wrote and directed the screenplay for the online video service (OTT) Disney Plus series ‘Casino’, and actors Lee Dong-hwi and Heo Seong-tae, who played the lead roles, will attend the event. ‘Casino’ is a drama in which actor Choi Min-Shik appears for the first time in 25 years. This is the story of a protagonist who became a casino legend in the Philippines, risking his life to return to the game after losing everything in a murder case.
Director Takashi Miike, the master of genre films who directed another highly anticipated film, ‘Connect’, along with Jung Hae-in, Go Kyung-Pyo, and Kim Hye-Joon, are also expected to shine on the blue carpet. The story begins when a man with an immortal body is kidnapped by an organ trafficking organization and loses one of his eyes, only to find out that his eye was implanted by a serial killer.
