Actor Jung Hyun-ji takes on a new challenge through the film "Pihwa."
On the morning of the 12th, her agency H.O.A.N.M. said, "Jung Hyun-ji has been cast as art student 'Lee Joo-young' in the film 'Pihwa,' scheduled to be released in the second half of the year. Please look forward to another side of Jung Hyun-ji, who has been loved for her steady acting, that she will show through 'Pihwa.'"
"Pihwa" is an occult thriller about art student Seojin (Han Ueun) encountering the final work "Hwa" left by the legendary painter Jeong Hwan-seok and the various incidents that occur afterward and the secrets hidden within, and is a new work by director Kim Jung-min, who directed the films "The Other Side" and "Ganiyeok."
Jung Hyun-ji plays Lee Joo-young, a third-year painting major at Yeongwon University who is Seojin and Ara's close friend, and will capture audiences by portraying lively youth with a characteristically optimistic and candid personality while also showing a realistic side focused on graduation as she feels the limits of her own talent.
Jung Hyun-ji has been building her filmography through musical works such as "Greece" and "Robin" and web dramas like "@account has been deleted" and "Only first love three times." Last year, she drew viewers' sympathy by delivering realistic acting as No In-sook, who runs a dessert cafe in a rural town, in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama "Motel California."
Meanwhile, the film "Pihwa," in which Jung Hyun-ji appears, will begin principal photography in January.
