[Sportschosun Jo Ji-young] The horror thriller film 'Son Eomneun Nal' (directed by Heo Jeong and produced by Airster Studio and BA Entertainment) has drawn attention after casting Byeon Yo-han, Ahn Jae-hong, and Ha Yoon-kyung and revealing photos from its script reading.
'Son Eomneun Nal,' which piques curiosity with its unpredictable premise, has heightened anticipation by releasing stills from the script reading.
First, Byeon Yo-han takes on the role of Tae-ju, a gifted shaman and disciple of a master shaman, and leads the film with a powerful presence. Having delivered commanding performances in films such as 'Pavane,' 'She's Dead,' and 'Hansan: Rising Dragon,' Byeon transforms into Tae-ju, who appears before Woo-jin (Ahn Jae-hong) and Hyeon (Ha Yoon-kyung), and is expected to captivate audiences with his unmatched energy.
Ahn Jae-hong, who has proven his singular ability to embody characters through his standout presence in the film 'High Five,' the drama 'Mask Girl,' and his special appearance in 'The King and the Clown,' takes on the role of Woo-jin. Woo-jin is a lawyer who believes only what he can see and pursues reason and logic even amid inexplicable events. Ahn is expected to complete the character with his solid expressiveness and drive the film's immersion. In particular, attention is focused on the fresh chemistry he will show with Byeon Yo-han, with whom he is working for the first time, as well as the new side of himself that he has not shown before.
Ha Yoon-kyung, who has drawn empathy with her delicate performances in the film 'About My Daughter' and the dramas 'Undercover Miss Hong' and 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo,' plays Woo-jin's wife, Hyeon. Hyeon is a character who is pulled into the center of the mystery after experiencing strange phenomena, and Ha is expected to portray her anxiety and confusion convincingly.
Following this strong lineup of trusted actors, director Heo Jeong, who has finely captured the tension that begins with cracks in everyday life through works such as 'Hide and Seek' and 'Jangsanbeom,' is helming the project, adding to the anticipation. Heo, who has earned praise from critics and audiences alike for his sharp sense in the genre, is drawing attention for the new suspense and immersion he will bring to this film.
Meanwhile, 'Son Eomneun Nal' is the main investment and distribution film of CGV Pictures, a new company established by CJ CGV as it enters the investment and distribution business in 2025. CGV Pictures, which has launched a fresh start as an investment and distribution brand, is preparing for the release of its first main investment and distribution film, 'OK Madam 2,' in the second half of the year. It also plans to strengthen its own content planning, investment, and distribution going forward.
'Son Eomneun Nal' tells the story of a single day in which strange signs appear for a couple preparing to move into a new home on the luckiest day of all, and they meet a shaman who says they must receive a divine calling. The film stars Byeon Yo-han, Ahn Jae-hong, and Ha Yoon-kyung, and is directed by Heo Jeong of 'Hide and Seek' and 'Jangsanbeom.'
