Bona takes on the role of Yeo Ri, the only granddaughter of a revered shaman. She grows up under immense expectations to follow in her ancestor’s footsteps. Although she has inherited shamanic powers, her destiny twists after becoming entangled with Imugi.

Kim Ji Hoon portrays King Yi Sung. He seeks to reform the Joseon Dynasty for a stronger nation and confronts the Eight Feet Tall spirit. Alongside his loyal subjects, Yoon Gap and Yeo Ri, he tries to unravel the secrets surrounding the spirit.

Yook Sungjae is currently busy with various projects, including his solo music career and appearances on variety shows. Meanwhile, Bona, a member of the girl group WJSN, is also making waves with her acting skills. She is in recent dramas such as “Twenty-Five Twenty-One” and “Homemade Love Story.” Both stars have proven their versatility and talent, making their upcoming collaboration in “Gwigoong” highly anticipated by fans.
