Singer and actress Kwon Yuri perfectly adapted to the thriller genre.
Kwon took on the role of Kim Min in the psychological destruction thriller film 'Invasion,' which depicts the cracks that emerge as Yeong-eun (played by Kwak Sun-young), whose daily life is falling apart due to her daughter So-hyun (played by Ki So-yu) who exhibits bizarre behavior, confronts Min Ha-young (played by Lee Seol), who lost her memories from the past 20 years later.
Kwon appears right after the past story concludes within the development set 20 years apart, and she maximizes tension by delicately portraying not only her appearance, such as bangs that nearly cover her face and a deeply-drawn hat, but also the inner character of someone who is constantly on guard.
In particular, the detailed performance combined with cold and sharp eyes, subtle changes in expression, and rough gestures vividly conveys the character’s emotions, enhancing the audience's immersion.
Above all, Kwon convincingly expresses the psychology of anxiety and suspicion that amplifies as she confronts Park Ha-young, who unexpectedly intervenes in her life, drawing empathy from the audience. She has received praise for deepening her acting domain through this portrayal.
With such a powerful transformation and having taken on the thriller genre, Kwon Yuri met with the audience at a GV (Talk with Audience) on the 12th, creating buzz with in-depth discussions about the film and her character. Following this, she plans to hold an additional GV today (14th) and conduct a stage greeting during the opening week on the 15th and 16th to have meaningful moments with the audience.
Meanwhile, the film 'Invasion,' in which Kwon Yuri's unique charm can be witnessed, has risen to first place at the Korean box office immediately upon release, receiving a warm response.
