The Cast's Newest and Most Anticipated Projects (2025-2026)
The stars of My Name have leveraged the global attention from the action thriller to secure roles in some of the most anticipated K-dramas and films of the next two years. Their latest projects showcase their range, moving beyond the dark themes of the Dongcheonpa gang and the Narcotics Unit.
Han So-hee: The Action Star Returns in a Female-Led Heist
Han So-hee, who underwent intense martial arts training to portray the fierce Yoon Ji-woo, is continuing her run as a leading action star. Her most significant upcoming project is the 2025 neo-noir crime drama film, Project Y.
In Project Y, Han So-hee will star alongside Jeon Jong-seo, known for her roles in Burning and Bargain. The film is described as a high-stakes, female-led heist drama where the characters make dangerous decisions with their lives on the line. The project is generating significant buzz as it pairs two of Korea's most sought-after young actresses in a riveting crime thriller. Han So-hee is also set to present a new face, even using personal cosmetic props for her character, demonstrating her commitment to transformation.
Park Hee-soon: From Gang Boss to Judge and a Major Netflix Return
Park Hee-soon, who masterfully played the complex antagonist Choi Moo-jin, has a packed schedule for 2025, confirming his status as a versatile veteran actor.
His most talked-about project is the upcoming drama The Judge Returns (also known as Judge Lee Han Young), set for release in late 2025. Park Hee-soon transforms into Kang Shin-jin, a judge driven by ambition to seize the pinnacle of power, showcasing a new kind of intensity. He is also slated to star in the 2025 crime comedy series Confidence Queen.
Perhaps the most exciting rumor is his potential role in Squid Game Season 3, where he is listed in some sources for a role as a deputy commander. While unconfirmed by Netflix, his involvement would mark a highly anticipated return to the global streaming giant after the success of My Name and A Model Family.
Ahn Bo-hyun: Romance, Comedy, and a Confirmed Season 2
Ahn Bo-hyun, who played the dedicated Detective Jeon Pil-do, is exploring lighter, romantic roles while also committing to a successful franchise.
In 2025, he will star in the romantic comedy film Pretty Crazy alongside Im Yoon-ah. This film is expected to show a different, more comedic side of the actor, contrasting sharply with his serious role in My Name.
Furthermore, Ahn Bo-hyun is confirmed to reprise his role as the chaebol-turned-detective Jin Yi-soo in Flex X Cop Season 2. His return to the detective role, albeit a much different one from the Narcotics Unit, demonstrates his strong fan base in the crime genre. He is also set to star in the heart-warming romance drama Spring Fever, scheduled for a 2026 release.
The Legacy of My Name: Action, Revenge, and Topical Authority
My Name remains a benchmark in the modern K-drama landscape, especially for its groundbreaking action sequences and dark, gripping narrative. The series, written by Kim Ba-da, was a fresh take on the classic revenge plot, focusing on the protagonist's emotional and physical transformation.
Director Kim Jin-min's decision to return to the action genre after Extracurricular paid off, creating a cinematic experience that resonated globally. The raw, intense martial arts choreography, which Han So-hee trained extensively for, set a new standard for female-led action K-dramas, often featuring brutal, one-against-many fight scenes.
The show’s success is a testament to the entire production team, including Studio Santa Claus Entertainment, and the powerful chemistry between the main cast members. The complex relationship between Yoon Ji-woo, Choi Moo-jin, and Jeon Pil-do—a triangle of revenge, loyalty, and betrayal—is what continues to drive its topical authority and fan discussions years later. The enduring popularity of the series is clearly fueling the continued success and diverse career paths of its talented cast.
