Byun Yo Han, Roh Jae Won, And Ayaka Miyoshi Talk About Their Upcoming Film “Tazza 4: The Song Of Beelzebub”

The main cast of the upcoming film “Tazza 4: The Song of Beelzebub” recently took part in a photo shoot with Harper’s BAZAAR Korea!

Returning with a new installment six years after the previous film, “Tazza 4: The Song of Beelzebub” follows Jang Tae Young ( Byun Yo Han ), who thought he had everything after building a thriving online casino empire, until his best friend Park Tae Young ( Roh Jae Won ) takes everything from him. When fate reunites them in the world of global gambling, the former friends face off in a high-stakes game of revenge.

In the interview that followed the photo shoot, Byun Yo Han recalled the moment he first read the script. He shared, “I felt a lot of pressure when I was first offered the project. But after reading the script, I said I would do it just two hours later. The movie played out vividly in my head.”

He continued, “After deciding to join the cast, I texted Cho Seung Woo , who starred in the first installment of ‘Tazza.’ I told him, ‘It’s a big responsibility, but I’ll do my best to make it great,’ and he replied with a line from Madam Jeong (played by Kim Hye Soo ) in ‘Tazza’: ‘What’s past is past.’ It was his way of encouraging me to have fun and do a good job since this was a new film. I sent him the message to reassure myself, but thanks to him, I gained courage.”

Roh Jae Won, who plays Jang Tae Young’s best friend and rival in the film, said, “While acting, I was reminded of ‘Amadeus.’ The story of Mozart and Salieri was created a long time ago, but it is still incredibly powerful today. I thought our movie was that kind of story as well. Haven’t we all, at some point, loved a friend who was better than us while also feeling jealous of them? It’s a feeling that hurts more because you care about them and makes you feel more insignificant because you love them. I thought Park Tae Young was a character who embodied those emotions.”

Ayaka Miyoshi, who is making her Korean film debut with “Tazza 4: The Song of Beelzebub,” expressed her special affection for her character Kaneko. She remarked, “I think Kaneko’s line, ‘Do you want to be on the same side as me?’ is really memorable. Her aura is one thing, but the line is also convincing because she is a woman who has been through many different experiences. Kaneko is extremely clever and a character who moves forward with strong determination to achieve her goals, but that doesn’t mean she is devoid of love. I was drawn to that human side of her.”

20 years have passed since the first installment of “Tazza” was released in 2006. Reflecting on what makes the “Tazza” series special in 2026, Byun Yo Han pointed to its “essence.” He explained, “‘Tazza’ is ultimately a story about people. Whether it’s hwatu (Korean flower cards) or poker, those are merely tools. There are provocative elements such as competition and betrayal, but at its heart, the series vividly captures the most fundamental emotions of human beings.”

Byun Yo Han, Roh Jae Won, and Ayaka Miyoshi’s full pictorial and interview can be found in the September issue of Harper’s BAZAAR Korea, and “Tazza 4: The Song of Beelzebub” is set to hit theaters on September 23.
