Actress Lee Joo-woo (Why Her) has also been cast in Stealer: Seven Joseon Coins as Choi Min-woo, an elite police officer assigned to work with the cultural heritage team, while Jo Han-cheol (Jirisan) plays Jang Tae-in, who founds the “Karma” team.

They will also be joined by Kim Jae-won (Our Blues), as Shin Chang-hoon, an impulsive gangster-turned detective who becomes part of the team and veteran actress Choi Hwa-jung as Lee Chun-ja, the team’s hacker.

Stealer: Seven Joseon Coins is set to premiere on tvN sometime in the first half of 2023.
