The situation
Yoo Ah In, Lee Sung Min, and Yoon Kyung Ho are in talks to star in a new vampire film directed by Jang Jae Hyun, known for his work on "Exhuma" and "The Priests". The film, titled "Vampire", follows a vampire hunter, a priest, and others as they pursue vampires. Yoo Ah In's involvement would mark his first new acting project in approximately four years, following a hiatus due to drug-related charges.
What the internet did with it
- A representative from the film's investor and distributor NEW stated that nothing has been confirmed yet, taking a cautious stance on the report, which is a classic case of *_눈치_ (*being cautious or reserved) given the director's previous denial of Yoo Ah In's casting.
- Director Jang Jae Hyun had previously denied reports of Yoo Ah In's casting in December 2025, stating that the script was not yet complete and he had not officially offered Yoo Ah In a role.
- — "he's been MIA for so long, hope this is true and he's really coming back to acting"
The open question
The final cast for "Vampire" has not been confirmed, and the production team has not shared a definitive statement on Yoo Ah In's involvement, leaving the status of his return to acting uncertain. The start of pre-production and filming, tentatively scheduled for October, is also pending confirmation.
