Jo In-sung plans his comeback project(s)
by javabeans
Currently enlisted actor Jo In-sung (Frozen Flower) is wasting no time; though he won’t be released from service for another month, already he’s scoping out dramas and movies, and has settled on a film as his comeback project. He’ll take the lead in Fist Fighting (the title, kwonbup, refers to martial arts techniques using bare fists), which is directed by Park Kwang-hyun of the satirically funny commercial and critical hit Welcome to Dongmakgol.
This 10 billion won project takes on a sci-fi fantasy bent, set against a “city of the future.” In it, Jo plays a high school senior who taps into super-strength whenever he witnesses injustice, and has to save the village that’s home to the girl he falls in love with. Huh. I’m not so sure how I feel about the almost-30-year-old Jo playing a high schooler, even if he does look younger than his age. Maybe the genre aspect will take care of the potential weirdness? Also: It’s not clear what about the movie makes it futuristic or fantastical, so we’ll have to wait for more info on that.
He is also reportedly considering a couple drama projects: There’s Four Seasons, which comes from respected melo scripwriter Lee Kyung-hee (Thank You, Will It Snow For Christmas), as well as a drama based on Japanese manga Ice Blade (Jiraishin).
Jo, who began his military service in April 2009, will be discharged on May 4. Fans, get your welcomin’ arms in the ready position!

this has become the most redundant question asked every time a post military service actor begins a new projec.t. In fact this is the second time it's being asked today. But seriously where is he??

already??....."Jo plays a high school senior"...WHY??....I do not get why post service actors would even chose to play high schoolers....the only reason I can think of here is th big budget project but still.......

Hmm, did they choose high schooler to poke at Dream High's Jo In-sung? Either way, interesting project for a post-army man.

HAHAHA. This so funny. I looked him up today because I was watching an old episode of Infinity Challenge with him in it and was like: Where has this guy been? He hasn't had a project since 2008, is he just doing commercials right now? With this post, I know now that his bio wasn't updated because it said he was getting ready to enlist. HAHAHA. Now it all makes sense: he has already enlisted and is preparing a return.
I don't know if I want them to do Jiraishin. It's also a detective manga, and everyone knows the disappointment we've had recently of another investigator manga remake *cough*CityHunter*cough*. I guess, only time will tell? Maybe? X/

I seriously want him to pair with Ha Ji Won again in drama. WHIB was 7 yrs already. I think a lot of fans are patiently waiting and ask for it. This must be a very great success if the project of this couple is possible. Hope MBC or SBS can make this dream come true.
