Korean actor Jung Il-woo has been cast in a Chinese romantic-comedy film, according to his management Wednesday.

The film "Female Warrior" (literal translation) follows the main female character finding love, after renouncing romance in favor of mathematics.

Jung will star as the CEO of an information and communications firm.

"Since this is my first foreign acting project, I was worried at first," said Jung through his agency. The actor said he has since adjusted to the film crew and staff members. "I am confident that the film will be a good project."

Chinese actress Zanilia Zhao is rumored to star in the lead role.

Jung recently concluded filming for his appearance in the Chinese TV culinary program "Star Chef," broadcast by JiangsuTV.

He is scheduled to remain in China in the near future, where he will take part in filming for the upcoming rom-com film.
