Actor Hyun-bin (VAST Entertainment)

Korean actor Hyun-bin’s agency confirmed Wednesday that he will play a fraudster in his next project.

“It is correct that Hyun-bin is acting in a new movie called ‘Kkun,’” a staff from VAST Entertainment was quoted as saying by a local media outlet.

Hyun-bin, 33, will take the fraudster role, who schemes to nab another infamous scammer.

The actor is likely to costar with Yoo Ji-tae, who was offered a role as a ruthless prosecutor going after criminals engaged in the fraud case. Yoo has not confirmed the role yet.

Hyun-bin is currently on location of “Cooperation,” an upcoming Korean film that centers on an inter-Korean project. He is playing a North Korean detective secretly sent to South Korea to bust a crime ring made up of North Korean defectors.
