South Korea-based entertainment powerhouse Lotte Cultureworks is set to unveil its latest offering, Holy Night: Demon Hunters, at the European Film Market in Berlin, according to the exclusive report by Variety. The occult-themed action movie, expected to be one of the biggest Korean films of the year, features Korean-American superstar Don Lee in the lead role.
Yesterday, Don Lee posted a video on Instagram in a plane with a caption indicating he was heading to Berlin. But what caught the attention of fans was his big Hello Kitty phone cover. The actor was seen cutely taking pictures on his phone and making finger hearts. Famous for playing a tough guy and an action hero in the movies, fans were surprised and happy to see this side of him.

Many fans took to the comment section and highlighted his new personality. “Tough Guy being Cute That’s the Cutest thing I’ve seen on instagram today ” wrote one to another saying, “Bro is baby girl in real life”.
Holy Night: Demon Hunters follows a devil-worshipping criminal network as it plunges Seoul into chaos. The city’s only hope lies with Holy Night, a trio of demon hunters armed with supernatural powers, reluctantly enlisted by the police in a desperate bid for salvation.
The film stars Don Lee, known in Korea as Ma Dong-seok, who gained international recognition for his roles in Train to Busan, The Outlaws and Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days. Lee, who also fronts the popular The Roundup comedy-action franchise, will be attending the Berlin festival for the world premiere of The Roundup: Punishment, the fourth instalment in the series.
Seohyun, also known as Seo Ju-hyun, from the popular K-pop group Girls’ Generation, joins the cast with roles in Netflix’s Love and Leashes and the TV series Private Lives. David Lee, also known as Lee Da-wit, known for his roles in Svaha: The Sixth Finger, and the upcoming Squid Game season 2, rounds out the cast.
Directed by first-time feature director Lim Dae-hee, Holy Night: Demon Hunters is set to deliver a thrilling mix of action and supernatural elements. The screenplay was developed by Lim Dae-hee in collaboration with Don Lee, who also serves as a producer on the film.
While a local release date for Holy Night: Demon Hunters has not yet been announced, a Lotte sister company will handle distribution in Korea. Lee’s rise to stardom has been remarkable, from his early days in the industry as a supporting actor and physical trainer to his current status as a leading figure in Korean cinema.
Lee’s production company, Big Punch Pictures, along with Team Gorilla, has been instrumental in his success, allowing him to take on various roles, including co-writer, planner, producer and performer in The Roundup franchise. Lee also made his Hollywood debut in Marvel’s The Eternals and is apparently working on a U.S. adaptation of the 2019 Korean action thriller The Gangster, The Cop, and the Devil, in which he appeared.
