The distributor Lotte Entertainment announced on the 5th that the casting has been finalized for Park Bogum, Cha Jiyeon, and Jang Gwang, among others.

"David" tells the story of an ordinary shepherd who faces his destiny to become a king as he stands up against the giant Goliath. Park Bogum, who is taking on animation dubbing for the first time, will voice David, who overcomes adversity and ascends to the throne. He said, "I deeply resonated with David's courage and message of hope," adding, "I hope the audience feels the courage to try and the perseverance to succeed."

Cha Jiyeon will play David's mother, Nitzevet, while Jang Gwang will voice the prophet Samuel. The role of King Saul, who is jealous of David, will be voiced by voice actor Song Junseok, and the voice of Goliath will be provided by voice actor Si Youngjun.

Directed by Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes, "David" was released in North America in December last year and earned 80 million dollars (approximately 120 billion won). It surpassed the 60 million dollars earned by the animation "King of Kings," which was popular that year. In Korea, it will be released on July 15.
