The 'Tazza' Series Returns with 'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub' Starring Byun Yo-han, No Jae-won, and Ayaka Miyoshi; Set for 2026 Release

The acclaimed 'Tazza' film series is set to make its comeback with its fourth installment, tentatively titled 'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub.'

On the 15th, the production team unveiled the main cast, shedding light on the upcoming crime film. Principal photography for 'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub' commenced in the latter half of last year and is currently underway.

The movie centers on Jang Tae-young (played by Byun Yo-han), who believed he had conquered the world through the poker business, and his best friend Park Tae-young (played by No Jae-won), who betrayed him and took everything. Their paths cross again in a high-stakes global gambling arena, leading to a fight for survival. This fourth installment promises to be the grand finale of the 'Tazza' saga, known for its unforgettable characters, iconic scenes, and memorable lines derived from the world of Hwatu and poker.

'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub' aims to expand the series' universe by delving into the global poker business, offering a fresh cinematic experience. The recently released key visual, featuring a fly symbolizing Beelzebub on a poker card stained with blood, has already ignited curiosity among fans.

Byun Yo-han takes on the role of Jang Tae-young, a born gambler who plunges into the game, only to face devastating betrayal from his closest friend. No Jae-won portrays Park Tae-young, a natural poker prodigy who constantly plays second fiddle to Jang Tae-young, developing an obsession with the business. Joining them is Japanese actress Ayaka Miyoshi as Kaneko, a corporate executive linked to the Yakuza, who becomes interested in the poker business run by the two friends. Her character is poised to expand the 'Tazza' universe, following in the footsteps of previous female leads like Kim Hye-soo and Shin Se-kyung.

Directed by Choi Gook-hee, who previously garnered acclaim for his nuanced portrayal of characters facing the 1997 IMF crisis in 'Default,' the film is expected to honor the original series' spirit while introducing innovative directorial approaches. 'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub' is slated for a 2026 release.

Korean netizens are buzzing with excitement about the return of the 'Tazza' franchise. Comments like 'Betrayal is the essence of Tazza!' and 'Looking forward to Byun Yo-han's transformation!' are flooding online forums, showing strong support for the new installment.
