Meanwhile, fans should also look forward to what Lee Joon Hyuk prepared for them. The Along With the Gods star reportedly added 20 kgs. to his weight to portray his character perfectly. He added that he needed to bulk up so his fight scenes with Ma Dong Seok would not look awkward.
"Joo Sung-cheol is a mastermind of drug crimes, largely living in the shadows. He is very smart and violent. If this kind of person is around you, it would be very scary," he went on.
Ma Dong Seok's movie The Roundup: No Way Out will be released on May 31.
