Park Hyung-sik cast in action comedy film ‘Family Force’

Park Hyung-sik is set to lead the upcoming film Family Force, taking on the role of an active-duty Marine and forming a father-son duo with Cha Seung-won.

Park Hyung-sik has confirmed his next big screen project.

According to an exclusive report on February 25, the actor will star in the new film Family Force, a comical action story that follows three generations of a Marine family who become caught in an unexpected terrorist incident.

From “Baby Soldier” to real Marine on screen

In the film, Park Hyung-sik plays the youngest member of the family — an active-duty Marine who stands at the center of the narrative.

The role is drawing particular attention because of his past image on the military variety show Real Men, where he earned the nickname “Baby Soldier.”
This time, he returns in a full-scale action role, raising expectations for both his physical performance and emotional depth.

First official on-screen collaboration with Cha Seung-won

Cha Seung-won will play his father in the film, creating a powerful on-screen family dynamic.

The two previously showed warm chemistry when Park Hyung-sik appeared as a guest on Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village, but Family Force will mark their first acting project together, making the casting especially anticipated.

A steady rise as a leading actor

Since debuting in 2010 as a member of ZE:A and beginning his acting career in 2012, Park Hyung-sik has built one of the most stable filmographies among idol-turned-actors.

His notable works include:

• The Heirs
• High Society
• Strong Woman Do Bong-soon
• Happiness

In 2025, he received strong reviews for Buried Hearts, where his intense action scenes and deeper emotional acting helped the drama reach a 15.4% peak rating, ranking among the year’s top miniseries.

A new action era on the big screen

With Family Force, Park Hyung-sik is expected to showcase a different side of his acting — combining comedy, action, and a multi-generational family story.

The film not only expands his genre range but also positions him as a leading figure in Korea’s action-comedy lineup.

For fans, the project signals the beginning of another major chapter in his career.
