Character actor KIM Sung-kyun of The Prison (2017) and The Witness (2018) is also slated to appear in the project.Director KIM is no stranger to large-scale projects, having previously helmed the Gwangju Democratization Movement drama May 18 (2007), the oil rig creature feature Sector 7 (2011) and the inferno drama The Tower (2012). KIM also helmed the as-yet unreleased high school thriller I Want to See Your Parents’ Faces with SUL Kyung-gu, MOON So-ri and CHUN Woo-hee.Production on Waterhole will kick off in the second half of the year, once casting has been completed.
