TW-actor Austin Lin Second to Venture into K-ent Joining K-movie Sad Tropics with Kim Myung Min and Lee Shin Young

One of the more entertaining movies I watched in 2022 was TW horror-comedy Marry My Dead Body, which I checked out for Greg Hsu (Hsu Guang Han) and the premise but left with a new appreciation for second male lead Austin Lin (Lim Bo Hong). It was a brilliant casting of the two very similar looking actors in straight/gay and alive/dead conundrum and also a decent script to stitch it all together. Greg Hsu has been popular in Korean since his drama Someday or One Day and has ventured over there for activities in the last few years but now Austin is following suit. He’s been cast in the K-movie Sad Tropics with Kim Myung Kim, Park Sung Hoon, and Lee Shin Young, and is not the same movie that later became The Childe when it had the first title. The movie has already started filming with an expected late 2025 premiere date.
