A still from the film "The Journey to Gyeongju" highlighting actor Byun Yo-Han's frenzied performance has been released.
"The Journey to Gyeongju" (screenplay/director: Kim Mi-jo, provided by: Lotte Entertainment, Michigan Venture Capital Co., distribution: Lotte Entertainment, production: Studio High Five, co-production: Euphoria ENT) is a family revenge drama about mother Ok-sil (Lee Jung-eun) and her three daughters Jang-ju (Kong Hyojin), Yeong-ju (Park So-dam), and Dong-ju (Lee Yeon) who, after eight years of waiting, embark on a "killer" trip to avenge their youngest daughter Gyeongju, who never returned from a school trip.
Since its release on the 26th of last month, "The Journey to Gyeongju" has continued its word-of-mouth boom, drawing praise from real viewers, and has released four "Baek Sang-hyun" sting images capturing Byun Yo-Han's no-fee dedication and madness, drawing attention.
The released stills show various aspects of the kidnapped murderer "Baek Sang-hyun" under the meticulous plan of the four women. The desperate image of him running down the road with his bound body wrapped entirely in a black plastic bag signals the start of an unpredictable incident and piques curiosity.
In the following still, he is shown hiding in a thicket to escape the four women's pursuit. Even in his haggard state, the glaring light in his eyes reveals both a desperate survival instinct and a chilling aura. After a turbulent escape, the moment he sits in a restaurant and hurriedly shovels food into his mouth creates a tense calm before the storm. Finally, his cold gaze as Baek Sang-hyun, wearing a police uniform and gripping the steering wheel while staring fiercely at something, raises questions about what shocking developments he will provoke in his relationship with the four women.
Notably, Byun Yo-Han appeared in "The Journey to Gyeongju" with no fee. Nevertheless, he completely dominated the screen with full-body action and frenzied eyes, leaving a strong impression on audiences. Every moment Byun Yo-Han appears, the atmosphere of the scene freezes.
In response to Byun Yo-Han's extraordinary performance, audiences have praised, "Byun Yo-Han's acting is really fierce. Even watching on screen was tense," "The entire theater held its breath at Byun Yo-Han's unique presence," "He acts so well; it's amazing how instinctively he can control distance with the audience," and "Knowing he did it for no fee makes it even more respect!"
Meanwhile, "The Journey to Gyeongju" has confirmed a stage greeting in its third week amid enthusiastic audience response. At the stage greeting to be held on the 13th, Byun Yo-Han will join to express gratitude to the audience.
