Some workplace retreats end with awkward team-building games. This one ends with an exorcism. CJ ENM has officially confirmed that filming has begun on **“Jiangshi: Horror Workshop”** (working title), a new comedy-horror film boasting a stacked ensemble cast including Ahn Jae Hong, Lee Da Hee, Yoon Kyung Ho, Kim Ji Eun, and Lee Hak Joo.
