The movie "Holy Night: Demon Hunters" (written and directed by Lim Dae-hee, distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Big Punch Pictures and Nova Film) has unveiled character stills of Kyung Soo-jin and Jeong Ji-so, who commission an unprecedented mission on "Holy Night."
The movie "Holy Night: Demon Hunters," an occult action film where the dark troubleshooters of the "Holy Night" team — Bau (Ma Dong-seok), Sharon (Seo-hyun), and Kim-gun (Lee Dawit) — eliminate the evil forces in a city thrown into chaos by a group that worships evil, has released character stills of Kyung Soo-jin and Jeong Ji-so that leave a strong impression. Kyung Soo-jin, who is expanding her unique charm and acting prowess across genres such as "Baek Soo Apartment" and "Criminal Record," plays "Jeong-won," an older sister who must save her brother who has had his soul stolen by a demon. To save her brother, who shows inexplicable symptoms, "Jeong-won" tries various methods but, unable to find answers through medicine, ultimately seeks out the "Holy Night."
Kyung Soo-jin showcases a range of emotions, from the strength of an older sister who cannot give up on her brother taken by the demon to the pain and despair of a doctor who can only watch her brother. She demonstrates versatile emotional acting and depth. Kyung Soo-jin noted, "I thought that the perspectives of 'Jeong-won' and the audience were the same. When I saw the demon or felt the strange phenomenon, I focused on how to express the reactions differently from the 'Holy Night' team," revealing her meticulousness as a veteran actor even in a single reaction.
Jeong Ji-so, an actress known for leaving sharp impressions with each of her works, such as "Method" and "Parasite," gives an astonishing performance as the demon-possessed sister "Eun-seo." Jeong Ji-so, who has openly declared herself a fan of the occult genre, feels that "Holy Night: Demon Hunters" is a fateful project.
Jeong Ji-so seamlessly transitions from the appearance of an ordinary girl to being overwhelmed by the abnormal symptoms that she cannot even control after the demon inhabits her. Jeong Ji-so recalled her meeting with director Lim Dae-hee, who possesses extensive knowledge of the occult genre, saying, "It seemed like we were naturally immersed in the project since we communicated well from the first meeting," reflecting the encounter of two occult enthusiasts.
Moreover, to evoke a feeling of wanting to protect and the sense of danger that viewers should feel at a loss, great effort was put into researching the character "Eun-seo." She stated, "I was dedicated to studying and practicing action for 2 to 3 months due to 'Eun-seo's' movement actions," raising expectations for an unprecedented character that will leave a strong impression.
With an unmissable tension that captivates the screen, the transformations of Kyung Soo-jin and Jeong Ji-so in the movie "Holy Night: Demon Hunters" are anticipated to be released in theaters on April 30.
