Actor Jung Il-woo has transformed into a foreign investor through the movie 'Together.'
On the 9th, the film 'Together' (directed/scripted by Michael Sinkus, produced/distributed by Green Narae Media, co-distributed by Playgram, co-sponsored by Laika Cinema, J-One International Company) announced that Jung Il-woo participated as an investor.
The work Jung Il-woo decided on as his first investment project, after careful consideration, is the body horror romance 'Together,' which was released on the 3rd. 'Together' is a body horror romance film about an old couple facing the limits of their relationship and experiencing a strange phenomenon where their bodies gradually stick together after moving into a new place.
Jung Il-woo, who debuted in 2006 with the MBC sitcom 'High Kick Without Hesitation,' has consistently received the public's love for his charming performances in various works across both screen and television. He plays the role of 'Lee Ji-hyuk' in the KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Our Golden Days,' which premiered on August 9, helping the drama achieve the highest viewership ratings, and he has also appeared in the Korean-Vietnamese co-production 'Going to Abandon My Mother,' showcasing box office power in Vietnam and earning the title of a national son-in-law while expanding his global activities.
While actively working as an actor, Jung Il-woo has now transformed into a film investor. The film he has chosen as his first investment project is the body horror romance 'Together,' where he noted, "The film 'Together' is a unique work that combines romance and body horror, questioning the essence of love and relationships. I judged that the strong message of this film and its new attempts hold special significance as J-One's first investment project."
Starting with 'Together,' Jung Il-woo is expected to continue introducing fresh works to domestic movie audiences as a film investor. In particular, actor So Ji-sub has previously expanded the range and diversity of films as an investor with titles like 'Madame Phu-ruid's Secret Garden,' 'Midsommar,' 'Hereditary,' 'Person of Interest,' and last year, 2024's independent foreign film 'Substance,' which recorded 560,000 viewers, the highest number for any film, receiving support and encouragement from film fans due to his outstanding vision. Amidst this, attention is focused on what works Jung Il-woo will introduce to film fans following the investment announcement of 'Together.'
'Together' is currently screening at CGV theaters nationwide.
