We heard last month that EXO's D.O. had been offered a leading role in upcoming film 'Hyung', and we're glad to report that he's accepted! And confirmed to join D.O. as his character's hyung is actor Jo Jung Suk!

The film is about an arrogant swindler older brother, played by Jo Jung Suk, who leaves home and suddenly returns after 15 years to his talented judo athlete younger brother (D.O.). The plot will focus on what happens as they live together.

Jo Jung Suk said, "It's every actor's ambition to take part in a good production. So I willingly chose this movie. It's a human story that everyone can sympathize with, and that's its best point. I'm already looking forward to it. I will greet you all with a good image, so I ask for a lot of interest."

D.O.'s character is a judo athlete, but right before he was about to enter a competition to become a national athlete, he gets into an unfortunate accident, and in one day, his life turns upside down.

So regarding his role, D.O. said, "This is a role I haven't played yet, so I have even more ambition to do well. I read the scenario in one sitting, and I trembled with excitement and couldn't sleep. I won't forget that feeling and I will immerse myself in acting."
