Ma Dong Seok in talks to return to Korean dramas after eight years

After eight years, Ma Dong Seok returns to the Korean small screen with the upcoming K-drama “Twelve.”

Ma Dong Seok is widely known for starring in various hit Korean films and Hollywood movies. In 2023, the top actor again led a new blockbuster Korean film. He starred in “The Roundup: No Way Out” with Lee Joon Hyuk, Aoki Munetaka, Lee Bum Soo, Kim Min Jae, and Jun Suk Ho.
