On the 31st, NEW officially announced Yoo Ah-in's appearance, stating that 'Vampire,' directed by Jang Jae-hyun, director of 'Exhuma,' 'Svaha: The Sixth Finger,' and 'The Priests,' has completed its cast lineup and will begin full-scale filming this month.
'Vampire' is a mystery occult film depicting events that unfold when an unidentified contract killer, commissioned by a cleric, pursues a mysterious pagan group. Director Jang Jae-hyun, who has demonstrated distinctive storytelling and solid directing in every work, including 'Exhuma,' 'Svaha: The Sixth Finger,' and 'The Priests,' plans to expand his unique worldview once again through 'Vampire.'
Yoo Ah-in will lead the film as a contract killer pursuing the pagan group. Although he is a fearless man who never wavers in any situation, he will delicately portray the process of gradually changing as he encounters mysterious beings.
In addition to Yoo Ah-in, Lee Sung-min will play a cleric who breaks taboos for the sake of his beliefs. Drawing on his considerable experience, he will bring depth to a character agonizing between responsibility and guilt while anchoring the story.
Lee Joon-hyuk will undergo a radical transformation as a pagan who longs for eternal life. He is expected to overwhelm the screen by completing the mysterious character with a razor-sharp aura. Rising newcomer Doi has been cast as the veiled girl. Having been selected through fierce auditions, she will leave a strong impression with her presence while radiating fresh energy. Yoon Kyung-ho will play the smuggling broker who comes to accompany the pagan. With his characteristic realistic acting, Yoon Kyung-ho will add vitality to the film. Finally, Choi Hyun-wook joins the cast as a U.S. Army second lieutenant with a mysterious objective.

'Vampire' has drawn attention as the new film by director Jang Jae-hyun, whose 'Exhuma' attracted 10 million moviegoers, as well as Yoo Ah-in's new film following the controversy sparked by drug allegations.
Yoo Ah-in was indicted on charges of administering medical propofol and other drugs 181 times in the Seoul area from September 2020 to March 2022, and illegally obtaining prescriptions for approximately 1,100 sleeping pills under another person's name on 44 occasions from May 2021 to August 2023. In July last year, the Supreme Court finalized a sentence of one year in prison, suspended for two years, and a fine of 2 million won.
Yoo Ah-in's comeback film, 'Vampire,' is scheduled for theatrical release in 2028.
