Jung_E cast: Who’s in the Netflix Korean film?

Netflix has begun rolling out its international content in 2023, and next up is the Korean film Jung_E. Read on to learn all there is to know about the movie, including who’s in the cast.

Jung_E is a science fiction film created by Yeon Sang-ho. Not only did he direct the movie, but he also wrote the screenplay. You might recognize Yeon Sang-ho from his previous work, such as the box office hits Train to Busan and Peninsula and the popular Netflix series Hellbound.

The story is set in a post-apocalyptic near-future, where Earth has been ruined by drastic climate change, making it no longer habitable. The human race is then forced into man-made shelters in outer space, but a civil war breaks out there and continues for a long time. To end the war, the brain of a courageous soldier is cloned by an A.I. lab to create the best A.I. combat mercenary.

So, who can you expect to see in the Korean movie? Find out right below!

Jung_E cast

Kim Hyun-joo leads the cast as the protagonist, Yun Jung-yi/Jung_E. Yun Jung-yi was one of the most powerful soldiers and military strategists before she fell into a vegetative state after a failed mission. Now, she’s become the subject of a brain cloning experiment called the JUNG_E project.

Besides the sci-fi movie, Kim Hyun-joo is best known for her roles in the K-Dramas Glass Slippers, Toji, the Land, Twinkle Twinkle, What Happens to My Family? and I Have a Lover.

Kang Soo-youn portrays the role of Yun Seo-hyun, Yun Jung-yi’s daughter and the researcher to lead the brain cloning experiment. You might recognize Soo-youn from her previous roles in the Korean films The Surrogate Woman, Aje aje bara aje, Churakhaneun geosheun nalgaega itda and Hanbando. Sadly, Soo-youn passed away in May 2022, so Jung_E marks the talented actress’s final film appearance.
