The Pirates: Goblin Flag, scheduled to premiere on December 31, 2021, boasts a star-studded cast alongside Sehun: Kang Ha Neul, Han Hyo Joo, Lee Kwang Soo, Kwon Sang Woo, Chae Soo Bin, Kim Sung Oh, and Park Ji Hwan. The film is a sequel to The Pirates—a box office hit that made it to Cannes in 2014 and pre-sold to 15 countries.
A fantasy action-adventure, Goblin Flag follows a group of seafaring bandits and pirates who are desperate to find the lost treasure of the Goryeo Royal Family. The treasure, which disappeared without a trace, is sought after by the noble Woo Moo Chi (Kang Ha Neul), and the band of pirates he’s sailing with, led by Hae Rang (Han Hyo Joo). But it’s not all smooth sailing from there—Moo Chi and the pirates are up against Bu Heung Soo (Kwon Sang Woo) in a race for the treasure.
Sehun will play the pirate ship’s stellar archer, Han Goong.

He has worked so hard last year while filming and now we will see him shine😭❤️ pic.twitter.com/tttf46RuY5
