An actress known for her diverse characters, Lee Jung-eun is generating anticipation for her exceptional acting transformation through the film "My Daughter is a Zombie" (provided/distributed by NEW | produced by Studio N | directed by Pil Gam-seong, opening on July 30).
Lee Jung-eun announces the introduction of the "man-torn grandmother" through "My Daughter is a Zombie." "My Daughter is a Zombie" is a comedic drama about a doting father who begins secret training to protect his daughter, who has become the last zombie in the world.
Lee Jung-eun has delivered uniquely detailed performances in numerous hit works, including the drama "Mr. Sunshine" and "Dazzling." She experienced a second peak in her career after winning best supporting actress awards at several prestigious ceremonies, including the Blue Dragon Film Awards, in 2019 for the 10 million viewer film "Parasite." Following this, Lee Jung-eun touched viewers' hearts with her poignant maternal love in works such as "When the Camellia Blooms" and "Light Shop," showcasing her irreplaceable presence in each piece and solidifying her status as a leading actress in Korea. In "My Daughter is a Zombie," she plays the role of "Bamsun," exhibiting a unique charm.
"Bamsun" is a vibrant and warm grandmother from Eunbong-ri who is well-versed in K-pop culture. Initially distressed by the fact that her grandson "Jung-hwan" and granddaughter "Soo-ah" have been infected with a terrible virus, she quickly swings into action, wielding the loving hands of a devoted child to discipline her zombie granddaughter, bringing laughter to the scene. It is rumored that she even undertook daring wire action for this role.
The visual of "Bamsun" appears to have come straight from the original work, and the fellow actors and production team collectively expressed their admiration for the "unprecedented synchronization rate." Director Pil Gam-seong remarked, "No actress aside from Lee Jung-eun comes to mind who embodies both the warmth and realism of our grandmother and can flawlessly execute wire action," raising expectations for Lee Jung-eun's performance as the 100% synchronized "man-torn grandmother."
