A Korean hero drama similar to “Avengers” is in the works, and the rumored actors who will star are generating a lot of excitement.
“Twelve” is a Korean-style hero series that tells the story of heroes representing the 12 zodiac animals, who fight to protect the Korean Peninsula from evil spirits. With its setting and plot based on Korean sentiments, the drama is expected to bring a unique charm compared to other hero series.
In August last year, it was reported that actor Ma Dong-seok was considering the lead role of Taesan, which was the first major announcement about the drama “Twelve.” Ma Dong-seok has already won the hearts of many fans with his role as Gilgamesh in the Marvel movie “Eternals,” but in “Twelve,” he is expected to return as a completely different, uniquely Korean hero character, sparking much excitement.
In April this year, the news of Ji Chang-wook’s casting further amplified the interest in “Twelve.” Ji Chang-wook is set to team up with Ma Dong-seok as a superhero in defense of the Korean Peninsula.
On September 5, it was revealed that actor and singer Seo In-guk would also be joining “Twelve,” followed by the announcement on September 7 that actress Lee Joo-bin had also been cast.
Thanks to positive casting news for several actors, expectations for the series continue to grow.
The twelve zodiac is a traditional system used in East Asian cultures to represent time and years, divided by 12 animals. There is much curiosity about how these elements will be incorporated into the drama.
“Twelve” is said to be aiming for a release next year.
Meanwhile, the 12 zodiac animals, also known as “Sibiji”, are traditionally used to represent time and years. The 12 animals are arranged in order and are often used in Korea to indicate the year of birth or to explain personality traits and fortunes.

– Rat (“I”)
– Ox (“Chuk”)
– Tiger (“Inside”)
– Rabbit (“Myo”)
– Dragon (“Jin”)
– Snake (“In”)
– Horse (“O”)
– Sheep (“Mi”)
– Monkey (“Shin”)
– Rooster (“Yu”)
