Actor Park Si-hoo is set to return to the big screen for the first time in ten years.
His new film, “Choir of God” (directed by Kim Hyung-hyup, produced by Studio Target), has officially confirmed its December 2025 release. The production also unveiled two launch posters designed with a North Korean parody aesthetic, drawing curiosity from audiences.
The film tells the story of a fake propaganda choir formed in North Korea to earn foreign currency — a satirical premise that blends political drama and musical comedy. Promoted as “the first North Korea-themed musical film,” it was shot across Mongolia and Hungary, featuring large-scale outdoor scenes in harsh winter conditions.
Park Si-hoo plays Gyo-sun, a stoic officer of the North Korean security bureau who leads the fake band and undergoes emotional transformation throughout the mission.
Joining him is Jeong Jin-woon, member of idol group 2AM, who takes on a rival lead role. The cast also includes Tae Hang-ho, Jang Ji-geon, Yoon Je-moon, Moon Kyung-min, and Han Jung-wan.
Park Si-hoo’s comeback has drawn attention not only for his role but also because of his controversial past.
In 2013, he was accused of sexual assault by an aspiring actress. The accuser later withdrew her complaint, and prosecutors dropped the charges. Park Si-hoo resumed his career in 2017 with the drama “Kingmaker: The Change of Destiny” and appeared in TV Chosun’s reality program “Dad and Me” in 2024.
However, in August 2025, he was again thrust into controversy when an anonymous social media user accused him of arranging an affair meeting for a married man. His agency, HOO Factory, denied the allegation, calling it “groundless defamation” and announcing legal action against the poster for spreading false information.
Despite years of turbulence, “Choir of God” marks a critical test of whether Park Si-hoo can reclaim his standing as an actor and reconnect with audiences through his first feature film in a decade.
