Disney+'s original series 'Tempest', a global streaming service that provides the best entertainment experience with excellent storytelling and innovative content, has revealed a strong casting lineup, including Kim Hae-sook, Lee Mi-sook, Yoo Jae-myung, Park Hae-joon, Oh Jung-se, Lee Sang-hee, Joo Jong-hyuk, Won Ji-an and John Cho.

Disney+'s original series 'Tempest', which depicts a diplomat and former U.N. ambassador building international fame 'Moonju" (Jeon Ji-hyun), chasing the truth behind a huge incident with an unidentified special agent 'Sanho" (Kang Dong-won), has completed a perfect cast of Korean luxury actors and Hollywood actors following the first meeting between Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won.

The role of 'Moonju', a diplomat and former ambassador to the United Nations who gained strong trust in the international community, was played by actor Jun Ji-hyun, a former ace among international mercenaries, and actor Kang Dong-won, a mysterious figure veiled in both nationality and past. I'm looking forward to seeing what synergy the meeting between the two, which everyone has been waiting for, will show. On top of that, actor Kim Hae-sook, who plays various characters across genres, plays the Korean president 'Chae Kyung-shin', and actress Lee Mi-sook, who shows her unrivaled charisma in each film, plays Moon Joo's mother-in-law 'Im Ok-sun', raising expectations.

In addition, Yoo Jae-myung, an actor with heavy charisma and aura, is the director of the National Intelligence Service, while Park Hae-joon, who showed a distinct presence with his inhalant performances in the films 'Seoul Spring' and the drama and the movie 'One Thousand Seconds', played the role of Park Chang-hee's aide 's assistant 'Junik'. New actor Won Ji-an, who drew attention when he was cast in Disney+'s original series 'Made in Korea', plays a mysterious figure 'Kang Han-na who knows the secret of 'Junik'.



Meanwhile, Hollywood actor John Cho, who received global attention through the film 'Search' and the SF 'Star Trek' series, joined. John Cho will give an impressive performance in the role of U.S. Assistant Secretary of State. 'Tempest' is also significant as John Cho's first Korean original series. With the meeting of acting actors with various personalities and charms, 'Polaris' has completed a perfect casting lineup beyond imagination.

Disney+'s original series 'Tempest', which is expected to feature a combination of well-made productions and a brilliant ensemble of actors with various personalities, including writer Jeong Seo-kyung and director Kim Hee-won, and director Heo Myung-haeng, will be released worldwide in 2025 only through Disney+.
