'Ghosts' Lee Yo-won and Kang Chan-hee held a moment of silence to commemorate their late senior Lee Joo-sil.
On the afternoon of the 1st, a press screening for the film 'Ghosts' took place at CGV Yongsan Ipark Mall in Seoul. Attendees included leading actors Lee Yo-won, Kang Chan-hee, Jung Kyung-ho, Oh Hee-jun, and director Hwang Seung-jae.
'Ghosts' (directed by Hwang Seung-jae, produced by Film_In_Season, distributed by Movie Rowon Brothers) depicts a story in the near future where AIs shaped like humans coexist with humans in South Korea. It is an expanded narrative from director Hwang Seung-jae's previous film 'Job Seekers,' which won the grand award in the video category at the 8th SF Awards in 2021, and aims to create a future more real than reality while addressing the issues faced by contemporary Korean society.
Lee Joo-sil, who played the role of an elderly woman suffering from dementia and the mother of Beom-soo (played by Kang Chan-hee), passed away before the release. She died at the age of 81 from stomach cancer on Feb. 2.
A representative of 'Ghosts' noted, "We will take a moment to commemorate actress Lee Joo-sil. She was looking forward to the release of our film, but passed away in February," and added, "Thank you, Teacher Lee Joo-sil. Your passion for acting will always be remembered in our hearts." In response, Lee Yo-won, Kang Chan-hee, and others bowed their heads in mourning.
Meanwhile, 'Ghosts' is set to be released on the 9th.
