According to multiple reports, the two stars visited Beijing and met with Chinese actress Zhou Dongyu and other key figures in the local entertainment industry.

Chinese media outlets reported that the trio met at a venue in Beijing’s Xigaba district and talked for over two hours before leaving together in the same vehicle. The reports further suggested that several staff members—likely involved in film production—were also present at the meeting, hinting at possible plans for a joint film project.

On April 3, Korean news outlet News1 reported that the two Korean actors had recently visited the entertainment division of Alibaba Group, located in Chaoyang District, Beijing.

Alibaba, one of China’s biggest tech conglomerates, is actively expanding its entertainment business as one of its six core pillars. The group owns film production units such as Alibaba Pictures and Damai, and notably co-produced the Oscar-winning road trip comedy Green Book in 2019.

The media reports suggest that Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung—who co-founded Artist Company—may be exploring opportunities for Korean-Chinese co-produced films.

Meanwhile, Jung Woo-sung made headlines in November last year when he acknowledged having a child out of wedlock with model Moon Ga-bi.
