What is Im Si-wan’s Mantis all about? Kill Boksoon spin-off explored as Choi Hyun-wook reported to join
Choi Hyun-wook is reported to join the cast of Mantis, the official spin-off of the Jeon Do-yeon starrer Kill Boksoon, released back in 2023. SPOTV News, in an exclusive report on May 20, stated that the actor will be a part of the film’s cast, but not much information has been revealed about the actor’s role.
Kill Boksoon depicted the life of high-rated killer Gil Bok-soon (Jeon Do-yeon). The story showcased how she struggled navigating fulfilling her duties as a single mother and as a professional assassin.
In September 2024, Netflix confirmed the production of Mantis, which illustrates the action-packed story of a professional assassin, Mantis. Im Si-wan will assume the role of Mantis, who was on vacation and returned to the dying industry of assassination.
Mantis came back to his fellow trainee and rival Jae-yi, played by Park Gyu-young, and Dok-go, a legendary assassin who has already retired. Mantis soon realizes that his friends are all in line to fight to achieve the top position of killers.
Meanwhile, before the release of Mantis, fans can catch up with Kill Boksoon streaming on Netflix.
