SEOUL, Jan. 30 (Yonhap) -- South Korean actor Park Hae-soo has been cast in the new spy series "Butterfly" on Amazon Prime, the actor's agency said Tuesday, marking his debut in Hollywood.

The upcoming thriller centers on a deadly chase between a former, mysterious U.S. intelligence operative, played by Daniel Dae Kim, and a young agent assigned to kill him.

Based on the graphic novel of the same name, the show also reportedly features South Korean actress Kim Tae-hee. Details of the roles of Park and Kim have yet to be known.

Park shot to global stardom after starring in the smash-hit "Squid Game." In 2022, the actor signed with UTA, one of Hollywood's top agencies in the U.S.
