The Journey to Gyeongju's Lee Jung-eun, Kong Hyojin, Park So-dam, Lee Yeon and other leading actors appear on the radio and transform into promotion fairies.
The leading actors of The Journey to Gyeongju, which steadfastly held the No. 1 spot in advance ticket sales for Korean films and lit a green light for box-office success even before release, are drawing attention by appearing one after another on live radio broadcasts ahead of the premiere.
The actors of The Journey to Gyeongju, the film that will color theaters this summer with a chilly and pleasant tone (screenwriter-director Kim Mi-jo, provided by Lotte Entertainment·Michigan Venture Capital Co., Ltd., distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Studio High Five, co-produced by Euphoria ENT) continue their enthusiastic promotional activities.
On Aug. 25, one day before the release, at 1 p.m., Park So-dam, who plays the second sister "Yeongju," and Lee Yeon, who plays the third sister "Dongju," appeared on KBS Cool FM Paul Kim's Gayo Plaza live visible radio. As the two showed an extraordinary bond even amid the film's brutal journey, they boasted a perfect sisterly chemistry in the radio booth as well.
On the day of release, Aug. 26, at 2 p.m., Lee Jung-eun, who plays the mother "Oksil," and Kong Hyojin, who plays the eldest sister "Jangju," join in to form the complete quartet of four daughters with Park So-dam and Lee Yeon on SBS Power FM Cultwo show's live visible radio. As the curtains rise on a full-fledged revenge drama at the box office, the four actors, who step out of the screen, are expected to fill a languid afternoon with laughter through nonstop "real family" vibes and brisk banter. The movie's viewing points directly delivered by the four actors and the special episodes accumulated while living like one family during filming are likely to further whet prospective viewers' appetite to see the film.
After the release, on Aug. 29 (Saturday) at 12 a.m. (midnight on Friday the 28th), director Kim Mi-jo, who wrote and directed the film, will make a solo appearance on MBC FM4U's FM movie music Kim Se-yoon. Director Kim Mi-jo is expected to offer movie fans a rich time by generously sharing everything from colorful behind-the-scenes stories about completing the film to the film's deeper stories.
The Journey to Gyeongju, which recorded the No. 1 spot in advance ticket sales for Korean films even before its release and continues to appear on the radio in relay for audiences waiting for the premiere, is a family revenge drama about four mother-and-daughter women who, after eight years of waiting for the youngest daughter "Gyeongju," who did not return from a school trip, set out on a "killer" journey. It opens tomorrow (26th) in theaters nationwide.
Meanwhile, The Journey to Gyeongju is director Kim Mi-jo's first commercial film after receiving solid recognition for her directing skills at major domestic and international film festivals with her debut work Seagull, and it has attracted much attention by being invited to the Hawaii International Film Festival and winning the audience award at the Florence Korean Film Festival even before its release. Director Kim Mi-jo wrote the script herself, and she enhanced realism by putting the characters of an actual four-sister family into the film as the youngest daughter of a real four-sister household.
