SEVENTEEN’s Jun has been chosen as the protagonist of the Chinese film Rebirth 2, and is fully beginning activities in the Chinese film industry. According to Pledis Entertainment today (the 21st), Jun will play the role of Su Cheng, the protagonist, in the film Rebirth 2, which will be released in China on October 3. In the work, he is a person who wanders around various parts of China for a long time in order to find his missing younger brother. Jun is scheduled to show a new acting transformation by not only delicately expressing the character’s complex story and emotions, but also performing splendid action that heightens the tension of the work. Rebirth 2 depicts the story of a man and a woman uncovering a huge conspiracy surrounding a criminal organization and embarking on revenge with their lives on the line. Jun will lead the story together with actress Isabella Leong, who appeared in the film The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. In addition, Hong Jinbao, a master of the Hong Kong action film world, and Bai Ke, who has been drawing attention for his distinctive acting, also join the cast and add further strength to the work. Attention is gathering on Jun’s new acting and action, created together with a diverse group of actors. Jun has also recently continued vigorous activity in the local Chinese film industry. He was invited to the 13th Silk Road International Film Festival, held in Xi’an on the 19th and 20th, attended the opening ceremony, and interacted with local fans. At this film festival, an internationally comprehensive event with high prestige in China, he participated as an overseas publicity ambassador and enlivened the venue. Last month, he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor award at the Hundred Flowers Awards, one of China’s largest film award ceremonies, and received recognition for the nomination. Jun, who is steadily expanding his presence not only in music activities but also in the Chinese film industry, is raising expectations for what kind of performance he will show through Rebirth 2. ・SEVENTEEN’s Jun confirmed to appear in the Chinese film “Once Again, Summer Vacation”!
