K-pop boy band 2PM member Junho will mark his big screen debut alongside popular Korean movie stars.

The pic’s production firm ZIP CINEMA said in a press release Thursday that 2PM’s Junho, actors Seol Kyung-gu, Jung Woo-sung and actress Han Hyo-joo will star in upcoming crime action pic “Surveillance” [translated title].

The singer will play an ace detective who goes by the nickname “Squirrel.” His job is to assist chief detective Mr. Hwang [played by Seol] with newbie detective Hah Yun-ju [played by Han]. The three play special agents in charge of targeted criminals.

With full support from Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, the vivid crime action pic is slated to crank in late October and open in local theaters next year.

Meanwhile, 2PM will get back to the Japanese music scene with the release of the fifth Japanese single "Masquerade" on November 14 and embark on their nationwide Arena Tour January next year.
