The global Japan-Korea joint film project Ghost House recently finished all filming and, along with news of the crank-up, released the lead actors' impressions.
The film "Ghost House" (director Jo Chang-geun, produced by Film Company Joa, co-produced by LKM Factory) is a gourmet fantasy romance that depicts warm human consolidation through life and death, loss and freedom, meeting and parting, and is based on a short story by Japan's representative author Banana Yoshimoto, well known to domestic fans for novels such as "Kitchen" and "Lizard".
Kim Jin-young, who plays Yoon-seong, a character who outwardly seems indifferent but is detailed and warm inside, said, "It was a work that allowed me to once again feel the passionate yet pure and clumsy emotions of someone in their early 20s. I am very grateful that I could work passionately thanks to the good chemistry with the director, staff and fellow actors who worked hard on set. I hope the work will leave viewers with a feeling as if the scent of a long-forgotten season lingers after seeing it."
Chu So-jung, who played Se-jung, a character who is honest about her emotions but realistic and rational, said, "I am happy to have met the work 'Ghost House' and to have been able to play the character Se-jung. As this was my first lead role in a film, I have many personal regrets, but it was a precious work that allowed me to grow one step further as an actor. Please look forward to it."
Park Hae-rin, who plays Joo-hyun, a leader-type character who leads the atmosphere with an active personality, expressed special affection, saying, "Playing Joo-hyun, her life evoked another kind of romance and perhaps every moment feels romantic. I am grateful to everyone who gave me the opportunity, and thank you so much to the staff who were on set with me. I am very happy to have met Joo-hyun."
Yoon Seong-bin, who plays Min-su, Se-jung's former lover and a pottery teacher, said, "Since it was my first work, I was somewhat nervous, but it was a truly meaningful time where I could learn by directly experiencing the atmosphere on set and the filming process. Above all, thanks to the warm guidance of the director, staff and fellow actors, I was able to finish my first acting without being nervous and with enjoyment."
Meanwhile, Ghost House is scheduled to be released in both Korea and Japan after postproduction and is expected to reach audiences in the second half of 2026.
