‘Holy Night’ Ma Dong-seok expressed his gratitude to Seo Hyun.

On the morning of the 2nd, a production conference for the movie ‘Holy Night: Demon Hunters’ (hereafter referred to as ‘Holy Night’) was held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Actors Ma Dong-seok, Seo Hyun, Lee David, Kyung Soo-jin, Jung Ji-so, and director Lim Dae-hee attended the production conference that day.

On that day, Ma Dong-seok explained the reason for participating in both the planning and appearance of ‘Holy Night’, saying, “At first, Director Lim Dae-hee is a director who specializes in horror films. He worked on the scenario with me and planned it. I just thought, what if I added action and fantasy to an occult film like The Exorcist? We decided to make a movie with a new mixed genre,” he said.

Ma Dong-seok also said that Seo Hyun decided to appear in the script after reading it for two hours, and he said, “I was so grateful. We always wait anxiously after giving her the script. Sometimes the contact is delayed, so there are times when we have to wait, but she made the decision quickly. It’s not an easy character, so it must have been a challenge for her. I’m grateful that she did her best this time.”

Meanwhile, ‘Holy Night: Demon Hunters’ is an occult action film about a city in chaos due to an evil-worshiping group, and the dark solvers ‘Holy Night’ team of Bow (played by Ma Dong-seok), Sharon (played by Seo Hyun), and Kim Gun (played by David) who deal with the evil group. It will be released on the 30th.
