Actress Park Ji-hyun is generating significant buzz ahead of the release of her bold film "Hidden Face."
On the 19th, Park Ji-hyun met with reporters at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno, to discuss "Hidden Face," which is set to premiere on the 20th. The film revolves around Sung-jin (played by Song Seung-heon) who searches for his missing fiancée, Soo-yeon (Jo Yeo-jung), only to encounter Mi-joo (Park Ji-hyun), Soo-yeon’s junior. As the story unfolds, Mi-joo’s role becomes intertwined with the fate of the seemingly vanished Soo-yeon, revealing a closely guarded secret.
Regarding the film's reception, Park expressed her relief at the positive early reactions, stating, “I hope many people will watch it.” She emphasized her relaxed outlook, noting, “Whatever the results, I’m glad to have had a fun time filming.” Park also appreciated the growth she experienced through the process, stating that simply being recognized as an actress would be a reward in itself.
In discussing her daring role, Park did not feel nervous about the intimate scenes, viewing them as integral to Mi-joo’s character. She explained that the scene depicting her seducing Sung-jin was more about storytelling than merely showcasing exposure, indicating her trust in director Kim Dae-woo’s vision. Park reflected on her excitement to be working with someone she has admired for years, further acknowledging the importance of situational context in filming intimate scenes.
Set to debut in theaters on November 20, "Hidden Face" is based on a Colombian film and has been described as a "thrilling drama of unexpected revelations." As Park Ji-hyun continues to showcase her versatility, this role seems poised to further cement her position in the growing landscape of Korean cinema.
