Confirmed to be released in March, attention is focused on Byun Woo Seok following the success of Netflix film, 20th Century Girl. Notably, the actor has been making waves for successive hit projects including Flower Crew Marriage Agency, Record of Youth and Moonshine. He is also set to appear in Strong Girl Nam-soon.

From the released character stills, Byun’s expressive emotions stand out, raising expectations for his presence that will make the friendship he shared with them shine more.
Praising the actor for his portrayal, Director Director Min Yong-geun was grateful for casting the actor.
“I had the most trouble with Jin-woo’s character. He is a character that is not easy to express. Good looks without any malice were important, and actor Byun Woo-seok was perfect for that.”
Expected to captivate the viewers for its nostalgic vibe, Soulmate promises to evoke cherished memories shared with others. The film premieres on March 15.
