Actor Kim Rae Won will be making his much awaited comeback with the movie "Gangnam Blues".

On March 18, his agency HB Entertainment stated, "Kim Rae Won has finally made his decision to come back through the movie 'Gangnam Blues'. It is his first movie in a long time, so he's taking his time to analyse his character and the plot. He's also works out a lot to prepare his body physically for the demands of his role."

It is the first time for Kim Rae Won to accept a role that is outside his specialty of melodrama and romantic comedy. With his new strong and charismatic role for the film, fans are looking forward to seeing his new style and character.

"Gangnam Blues" is a story about the power struggle between the political heads and the underground gangs during the real estate development in the Gangnam area in the 1970's. The film will be directed by Yoo Ha, and will feature a number of top actors, including Hallyu star Lee Min Ho.

The film will begin production in April, and is slated for premiere in the last quarter of the year.
