"Hot girl" Han So-hee went to see Jeon Jong-seo and even got upstaged by actors Kim Shin-rock and Jung Young-joo. The film "Project Y" has completed a must-see lineup of actresses.
The film "Project Y," which opened on the 21st (director Lee Hwan, provided by Plus M Entertainment·Penture Invest Co., distributor Plus M Entertainment, planned by WOWPOINT·Climax Studio, produced by Climax Studio·WOWPOINT, co-produced by Plus M Entertainment), is a story about Miseon (Han So-hee) and Dokyung (Jeon Jong-seo), who, dreaming of a different tomorrow in the middle of a glamorous city, steal black money and gold bullion at the edge of their lives.
The film attracted attention from the casting stage by putting Han So-hee and Jeon Jong-seo, recently hailed as hot girls representing Korea's Chungmuro, up front as a two-top. In the film, the two show chemistry beyond expectations through the exploits of Miseon and Dokyung. In addition, Project Y features dependable actors Kim Shin-rock and Jung Young-joo, who raise the film's tension and deliver fierce performances.
Kim Shin-rock and Jung Young-joo play Gayoung and Hwangso, respectively, in Project Y. Kim Shin-rock's Gayoung is a character who seizes an opportunity amid Miseon and Dokyung's crisis. Known for her serious approach to acting, Kim Shin-rock leaves no gaps in Gayoung's portrayal. Her relentless dedication to researching characters shines as madness in Project Y. Her performance, burning with desire, fills the screen with energy that captivates the audience.
Jung Young-joo plays Hwangso, a character with powerful energy that erupts. Before the release, a shaved-head still of Jung Young-joo caused a stir. For the role she boldly underwent a second shave in her acting career, showing deep passion for the character and a spirit of challenge. Jung Young-joo first showed a shaved-head fighting spirit in the play Frankenstein. At that time, the contrast between the elaborate dress on stage and the shaved head drew attention; in Project Y, she captures attention with powerful action that suits the shaved look.
With these two actresses meeting, the confrontation between Gayoung and Hwangso is regarded as the highlight of Project Y's acting battles. Even amid the complex configuration involving various people, including minor characters, Kim Shin-rock and Jung Young-joo radiate presence overflowing with madness and fighting spirit. Their momentary explosive charisma rivals the action of many noir films, sending shivers down the spine.
Regarding this, director Lee Hwan said, "It was a difficult scene to shoot," expressing exasperation. "It wasn't just Kim Shin-rock and senior Young-joo; there were also friends appearing as minor characters, so the number of people was very large and the situation was complicated. The original script had more scenes that showed the minor characters' personalities," he said.
He added, "On set, talking with Kim Shin-rock and senior Young-joo, I thought, 'If we do it like this we can't shoot it. It will be neither fish nor fowl.' I wanted to make quick choices and focus, so we cut other scenes and pushed toward showing the mirror effect between Miseon and Dokyung and the 'this is a sisters' fight' aspect of Hwangso and Gayoung, which we had wanted to show from the start."
That actual scene is circulating as a true "sisters' fight." If Han So-hee and Jeon Jong-seo are hot girls burning with youthful desire, Kim Shin-rock and Jung Young-joo could be called seasoned, skilled "hot women." The presence of these two experienced sisters is also significant in Project Y.
