South Korean actor Rowoon, known for shows like Extraordinary You, is all set to make his Japanese film debut with The Last Man: First Love.
On October 6, the makers officially announced that Rowoon will step into the Japanese film industry with his first big-screen role in the cinematic adaptation of the 2023 drama The Last Man: The Blind Profiler.
The narrative centres on Shintaro Godo (Yo Oizumi), a proud and tenacious detective, and Hiromi Minami (Masaharu Fukuyama), a blind FBI investigator, who collaborate to resolve challenging criminal cases.
In the film, Rowoon portrays FBI investigator Clyde Yoon, who offers the team a new viewpoint.
Producer Higashinaka explained why Rowoon was chosen for the role, saying, “Yoon is a strong-willed character who stands toe-to-toe with Minami. Rowoon is an actor who captivates people not just with his acting, but also with his charm and charisma. I felt he was the only one who could bring this character to life.”
