Shocking casting buzz: Actress Go Min-si, previously at the center of a school bullying controversy, is reportedly set to co-star with Hwang Jung-min in director Um Tae-hwa's new horror film.
On the 23rd, OSEN reported that Go Min-si will appear in the film A Home Worth Living In (working title).
A Home Worth Living In is a new horror project from director Um Tae-hwa, acclaimed for his distinctive world-building and direction through films like Ingtoogi: The Battle of Surpluses, Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned, and Concrete Utopia. With Hwang Jung-min's casting already reported in March, if Go Min-si officially boards the project, all eyes will be on their first on-screen chemistry.
Public reaction, however, is deeply divided. After Go Min-si was named in allegations as a school violence perpetrator last year, controversy erupted. She returned with the film Moral Family earlier this year, and now news of her potential role in A Home Worth Living In is fueling fresh debate.
Netizens reacted to the casting reports with heated takes: "Casting goes smoothly regardless of controversy," "It's brazen when the suspicions haven't even been cleared," "It's too harsh to block activities when nothing has been proven as fact," and "Worse offenders are working just fine."
Attention now turns to whether Go Min-si can win back the public through this project.
