The child actor Kim Kang Hoon plays the victim of school bullying in Death's Game.
In the upcoming fantasy thriller, Kim Kang Hoon takes on the role of 17-year-old high school student Kwon Hyeok Soo. He becomes a target of the school bullies due to his short stature than his peers and his cautious demeanor. While his teachers and classmates remain indifferent, he endures torment from the bullies, living each day in hellish circumstances, which eventually leads him to make a dangerous decision.
Meanwhile, as Choi Yi Jae (Seo In Guk) enters Kwon Hyeok Soo's body, the trajectory of his distressing life begins to shift.
The stills unveil the power dynamics in Kwon Hyeok Soo's school, where he grapples with brutal bullying everywhere, from classrooms to gymnasiums. His fierce gaze directed at others is juxtaposed with an undercurrent of hesitation, which fuels his bitterness.
On the other hand, glimpses of a different aspect of Kwon Hyeok Soo as he walks through the school corridors captivate attention. His face, devoid of emotion, seems to mirror the 31-year-old job-seeker Choi Yi Jae, exhausted by reality.
The stark contrast between the expressions and gazes of the 17-year-old high school student Kwon Hyeok Soo and the 31-year-old job-seeker Choi Yi Jae is a testament to the young actor's talent.
The production team of Death's Game praised Kim Kang Hoon's ability to immerse himself completely in a role, expressing admiration for his talent and versatility. They emphasized his capacity to handle both emotional depth and action performance, urging viewers to pay close attention to his performance.
Death's Game will premiere on December 15. Global audiences can stream the K-drama on Prime Video.
