Many fans took to the comment section and highlighted his new personality. “Tough Guy being Cute That’s the Cutest thing I’ve seen on instagram today ” wrote one to another saying, “Bro is baby girl in real life”.

Holy Night: Demon Hunters follows a devil-worshipping criminal network as it plunges Seoul into chaos. The city’s only hope lies with Holy Night, a trio of demon hunters armed with supernatural powers, reluctantly enlisted by the police in a desperate bid for salvation.

The film stars Don Lee, known in Korea as Ma Dong-seok, who gained international recognition for his roles in Train to Busan, The Outlaws and Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days. Lee, who also fronts the popular The Roundup comedy-action franchise, will be attending the Berlin festival for the world premiere of The Roundup: Punishment, the fourth instalment in the series.

Seohyun, also known as Seo Ju-hyun, from the popular K-pop group Girls’ Generation, joins the cast with roles in Netflix’s Love and Leashes and the TV series Private Lives. David Lee, also known as Lee Da-wit, known for his roles in Svaha: The Sixth Finger, and the upcoming Squid Game season 2, rounds out the cast.

Directed by first-time feature director Lim Dae-hee, Holy Night: Demon Hunters is set to deliver a thrilling mix of action and supernatural elements. The screenplay was developed by Lim Dae-hee in collaboration with Don Lee, who also serves as a producer on the film.

While a local release date for Holy Night: Demon Hunters has not yet been announced, a Lotte sister company will handle distribution in Korea. Lee’s rise to stardom has been remarkable, from his early days in the industry as a supporting actor and physical trainer to his current status as a leading figure in Korean cinema.

Lee’s production company, Big Punch Pictures, along with Team Gorilla, has been instrumental in his success, allowing him to take on various roles, including co-writer, planner, producer and performer in The Roundup franchise. Lee also made his Hollywood debut in Marvel’s The Eternals and is apparently working on a U.S. adaptation of the 2019 Korean action thriller The Gangster, The Cop, and the Devil, in which he appeared.
