  • The cast of the new film ‘Tazza: Song of the Devil’ will appear in an original variety program titled ‘Tazza: The Genius.’
  • The program will bring together the film’s leading actors and poker players, including Hong Jin-ho.
  • The provided report raises the question of why Hong, a successful poker player, was completely edited out of ‘Tazza 4.’

Hong Jin-ho has built a reputation as a successful poker player, with reported winnings of 3.1 billion won. Yet the new ‘Tazza’ film has left him with a very different kind of spotlight: a complete edit from ‘Tazza 4.’

The film’s leading actors will now show a new side of themselves through ‘Tazza: The Genius,’ an original variety program that brings together acting talents and poker experts.

‘Tazza: Song of the Devil,’ directed by Choi Kook-hee and presented and distributed by CJ ENM, with production by Sidus, is scheduled to launch the program on Sept. 6. The report uses Hong’s apparent omission from the film to frame the question of why a prominent poker player suffered the humiliation of being cut entirely.
