Ok Ju’s goal, nonetheless, is to not be trifled with. She’ll face off in opposition to Pro Choi, performed by Kim Ji Hoon. In 2020, Kim Ji Hoon performed Baek Hee Sung, the soulless antagonist in Flower of Evil.
Like The Call‘s Young Sook, Baek Hee Sung was ruthless, clever, and beyond frightening. Kim Ji Hoon’s bone-chilling portrayal gained’t quickly be forgotten.
While Ballerina isn’t Kim Ji Hoon and Jeon Jong Seo’s first undertaking collectively (they performed allies in Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area), it’s the first time they’ve battled one another in a thriller.
