The Korean film Salmokji (tentative title, director Lee Sang-min) has confirmed the casting of actress Kim Hye-yoon and actor Lee Jung-won, and will begin full-scale production. The two actors, who have been active in a variety of genres and are well known to the public, have been attracting attention for their attempt at a horror film.

The film, tentatively titled Salmokji is a horror movie about a film crew that goes to a reservoir to update a road view of an unidentified object and encounters something deep and black in the water.

Kim Hye Yoon, who became the next generation's “Rocco Queen” by captivating viewers with the drama “Lovely Runner,” which exploded in popularity in Korea and abroad, has become an actor with both acting ability and popularity through Salmokji, which is something that only actors with both acting ability and popularity have been able to obtain. Kim Hye Yoon is aiming for the title of “Horror Queen,” a title that only actors with both acting ability and popularity have been able to obtain through Salmokji. Kim Hye Yoon takes on the role of “Soo In,” a character who goes on a business trip to a reservoir and experiences a series of mysterious incidents. Kim Hye Yoon, who won the Best New Actress Award at the Blue Dragon Film Awards and the Daejong Film Festival for her role in the movie “Bulldozer Girl” as well as the drama, is attracting a lot of attention as a next-generation leading actress in the film industry.

Lee Jung-won, known for her various characters, was cast in Salmokji with Kim Hye Yoon, playing the role of “Gi-tee,” who experiences the mystery of the reservoir with Sui-in. Since his debut, Lee Jung-won has proven his potential in a variety of genres and characters, from romantic comedies, medical dramas, and the period drama “Night Blooms,” which recently finished airing with high ratings, to the coming-of-age romance “Intoxicating Romance. Lee Jung-won will take on the challenge of the horror genre for the first time through this film. In his first lead role in a commercial film since his debut, Lee Jung-won is expected to deliver a fresh performance to the audience.

The two actors, both of whom have been recognized for their stable acting skills, are taking on the challenge of horror films in earnest, and it will be interesting to see what kind of breathing space they will be able to show.
