The information surprised many people because Song Joong Ki is currently one of the most sought after actors and has a huge salary in the movie village of kimchi.

An industry official told JTBC Entertainment News:

"Hwaran caught everyone's attention in Chungmuro (only people working in the Korean film industry) from the very beginning when he successfully cast Song Joong Ki and was cast by Song Joong Ki.

But this is a low-cost film and the scale is not large. I was surprised to hear that he decided to act in this film, but even more shocked to hear that he would act without any guarantees."

Another official added:

"I understand that Song Joong Ki decided not to accept the salary because he wanted to help a little bit with the production of that low-budget movie."

It is known that Hwaran is a low-budget work. As a result, Song Joong Ki agreed to play Hwaran and did not receive any remuneration because he "wanted to help with the production of the film," an industry source revealed. Song Joong Ki's views and support for Hwaran were praised and appreciated by fans and netizens alike.

Sharing with the media, the "Descendants of the Sun" star expressed, "I'm very happy to appear in Hwaran. Since this is a project that gives me a challenge, I feel very new. I'm very happy. Looking forward to working on the set full of enthusiasm with the director and actors."

Hwaran is a film noir (black film-crime, sex films) about a young man Yeon Gyu (Hong Sa Bin) who wants to escape from his hellish reality. Yeon Gyu meets Chi Geon (Song Joong Ki), who is in charge of the middle management of a mysterious organization. From there, the two enter the dangerous world together. The film also has the participation of female singer BIBI.

In addition, Hwaran is also produced by History D&C, Song Joong Ki's management company. However, History D&C confirmed that the company's participation in the production was not related to the fact that the actor who accepted this film was not paid. The Korea Herald site (Korea) said that Hwaran, directed by Kim Chang Hoon, started filming in mid-September.

The film tells the story of Yoon Hyun Woo (Song Joong Ki) - the secretary of a chaebol family, who died after being accused of embezzlement by the Sunyang Group to which he has always been loyal. He is then reincarnated as the youngest son of Jin Do Joon's family and works to take over the company as revenge.

Besides, actor Lee Sung Min was also previously confirmed to play Jin Yang Chul, the head of Sun Yang Group. After growing up in poverty, he climbed to the top of the financial world and became a character with an endless greed for money.

Talented female star Shin Hyun Been will play the anti-corruption investigation prosecutor Seo Min Young - a character from a prestigious legal family.

With the nickname "Sunyang Group's death god", Seo Min Young will do everything for the sake of serving justice.

Before officially welcoming the audience, the film's production team shared that: "Reborn Rich is a story about resetting the life of a man standing on the threshold of death but resurrected as a youngest son of a chaebol family in 1987.

This is a project that takes place in a special fantasy world with a nostalgic style. None of the characters are ordinary and each has their own greed and story. The relationships of the characters are carefully woven against the turbulent time background, which will bring excitement to viewers."

With a "drama" script, hopefully Song Joong Ki's latest movie will become a phenomenon in the near future.
