As word of mouth spreads about the film "The Owner of the World," leading actor Jang Hye-jin will appear on Omniscient Interfering View.
On the 31st, the film "The Owner of the World" (director Yoon Ga-eun, provided/distributed by Barunson E&A, production companies Semosi and Vol Media) said Jang Hye-jin will appear on MBC variety show Omniscient Interfering View (abbreviated Omniscient) airing on Nov. 1.
"The Owner of the World" is a film about Ju-in (Seo Su-bin), an inscrutable 18-year-old high school girl caught between being popular and craving attention, who refuses to join a schoolwide petition that all other students participate in and then begins receiving mysterious notes. Five days after its release it surpassed 30,000 viewers, and fueled by explosive word of mouth it has recorded a high seat occupancy rate of about 20%, injecting new life into an ailing box office.
In particular, after the film was released it drew an explosive audience response and led to word-of-mouth success; "The Owner of the World" became the center of attention as senior and junior figures in the film industry including actors Kim Hye-soo, Kim Tae-ri, Kim Eui-sung, Bae Sung-woo, Ryu Hyun-kyung, Ko A-sung and Park Jung-min, and comedian Song Eun-i showed strong support with voluntary "relay cheering screenings."
Jang Hye-jin, who rose to 10-million-viewer status with director Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" and boosted her standing as a distinguished actor by appearing in this year's most talked-about series such as the Netflix original drama You and Everything Else and When Life Gives You Tangerines, delivers a remarkable performance as Tae-seon, a mother who is like a friend to her unpredictable 18-year-old daughter Ju-in in "The Owner of the World." On Omniscient Interfering View, she will show for the first time her busy life befitting a 10-million-viewer actor, transforming into a movie magazine cover model to promote the film and taking part in a press conference and stage greetings.
Omniscient Interfering View featuring Jang Hye-jin will air on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 11 p.m. The Owner of the World is also showing to positive reviews.
