The action fantasy film directed by Kang Hyung Chul is the latest movie who have announced that they will be suspending filming due to COVID-19.
Earlier this month, Song Joong Ki's movie "Bogota" halts its production for the second time after the "Vincenzo" star came in close contact with an acquaintance who tested positive for the virus.
Luckily, the South Korean heartthrob tested negative but is still required to self-isolate.
After days in isolation, Song Joong Ki's agency revealed that the A-lister has completed its quarantine period and will be resuming the production of the upcoming K-movie.
In addition to the list of Korean movies and shows who postponed their production due to spiking cases of the virus is the Korean remake of Netflix's "Money Heist."

This is to comply with the protocols as well as the safety of the whole team.
