'Salmokji' (tentative) is a horror film about an incident that occurs when a filming team goes to a reservoir to update the road view where an unidentified figure is filmed faces something in the black and deep water. It stimulates curiosity by capturing events taking place in familiar and unfamiliar places called reservoirs in vivid experiential fear on the screen.
In addition to the previously announced casting news, Kim Joon-han is expected to play the role of Kyosik, the boss of 「Suin" (Kim Hye-yoon), further raising the mystery of the play. He has been enthusiastically supported by viewers and audiences by showing delicate acting skills in dramas 'Good Partner', 'Wise Doctor Life', series 'Anna (ANNA)', and movies 'Beasts Who Want to Grab a Straw'. Attention is being paid to his performance in the horror genre as to what will happen in a reservoir such as a swamp where you can't see an inch ahead.
In addition, Kim Young-sung and Oh Dong-min joined as brothers who run a road view filming company, adding fresh charm. Kim Young-sung, who won the Rookie of the Year Award for his impressive performances in the drama 『The Investigation Team Leader 1958』, \"The Fiery Death 2" and the movie 'The Crime City 2" at the Buil Film Awards in 2024, plays the role of Kyung-tae, a veteran who is soaked in mannerism. Oh Dong-min will play the role of PD Kyung-joon, a former Navy rescue team. Expectations are high that he will lead the audience into the work this time with his immersive performance, which showed strong performances between good and evil in the movies 'How to Love the City', the series 'Gyeongseong Creature Season 2', and the drama 'Dr. Slump'.
Finally, Yoon Jae-chan and Jang Da-ah make their screen debuts with 'Salmokji' (tentative title), further amplifying expectations. Yoon Jae-chan, who has three-dimensionally completed not only the sparkling youth of his school days but also the dark and rebellious side in the dramas 'Love on a Single Tree Bridge', 'Twinkle Watermelon', etc., will play the role of Sung-bin, the youngest employee who followed Su-in in this work. In the series 'Pyramid Game', Jang Da-ah, who gave a fresh shock by breaking down to the top of a brutal survival pecking order war, attempts a new transformation as Se-jeong, who runs a horror broadcast channel.
Director Lee Sang-min, who announced the birth of the next generation of horror films by completing a solid casting lineup that has never been seen before, said, `Every moment is exciting and dreamlike to meet great actors and staff members. I will do my best to make a movie that gives me a new experience that I think I did well to watch in the theater," he said.
