Lee Jong Won Faces Suffocating Horror While Searching For Missing Colleague Kim Hye Yoon In New Film “Whispering Water”
The upcoming horror film “Whispering Water” has released its first stills of Lee Jong Won! “Whispering Water” is a horror film about a production crew sent to a reservoir named Salmokji to reshoot road-view footage after an unidentified figure was spotted in their initial footage. There, they encounter a mysterious presence lurking in the dark, deep water. Taking on his first leading role in a commercial film—and his first venture into the horror genre—Lee Jong Won stars as Ki Tae, Su In’s (Kim Hye Yoon) colleague who becomes entangled in the mysterious events surrounding Salmokji. The film follows a seven-member production crew who travel to Salmokji after an unidentified figure—one they never filmed—appears in previously captured road-view footage. As they investigate, a hidden presence lurking beneath the reservoir’s dark, deep waters begins to emerge, unleashing terrifying consequences. Ki Tae, a producer at a road-view company, heads to Salmokji in search of his missing colleague Su In, only to find himself drawn into a suffocating horror that traps him like a swamp. The newly released stills capture his growing unease, from standing tense in a dim office while gripping his phone to the shocking moment he arrives at Salmokji and is overwhelmed by what he encounters. Lee Jong Won shared, “Ki Tae is someone with a strong sense of responsibility and a deep desire to protect others. He’s the type who acts before he speaks—a character who moves forward without looking back,” adding, “I was excited to see what kind of story and fear could be created when I naturally immersed myself in the script.” “Whispering Water” is scheduled to hit theaters on April 8.
Go Ah Sung, Byun Yo Han, And Moon Sang Min’s New Film “Pavane” Reveals Key Reasons To Tune In
Netflix’s new film “Pavane” has unveiled key points to watch ahead of its release today! Based on the best-selling novel “Pavane for a Dead Princess,” “Pavane” tells the story of three young adults struggling to love themselves. As these emotionally closed-off individuals find solace in each other’s company and slowly become a ray of light for one another, they ultimately learn to face life and love again. Here are three key highlights of the film! 1. The quiet yet heartfelt comfort and relatability conveyed through the trio’s coming-of-age journey Mi Jung (Go Ah Sung), Yo Han (Byun Yo Han), and Gyeong Rok (Moon Sang Min)—each carrying emotional wounds that prevent them from loving even themselves—the film paints a poignant portrait of youth navigating a harsh reality. As the three naturally grow closer and slowly rediscover light in their lives together, the story promises a tender depiction of youth and healing. Director Lee Jong Pil shared, “I hoped the film would hold the feelings people have about love and youth,” adding that “Pavane” delivers a story that is both sweet and bittersweet, offering empathy and gentle consolation to young people forced to give up dreams and love in the face of reality. 2. Chemistry between Go Ah Sung, Byun Yo Han, and Moon Sang Min Go Ah Sung, known for her stable and delicate acting, plays Mi Jung, a woman who hides herself from others’ gaze. After meeting Gyeong Rok, the first person to treat her without prejudice, Mi Jung gradually begins to change. Byun Yo Han takes on the role of Yo Han, a free-spirited and unpredictable character—at times lighthearted yet serious, warm yet distant—whose layered personality comes alive through the actor’s signature depth. Moon Sang Min plays Gyeong Rok, a young man who gave up his dream of becoming a temporary dancer and now faces harsh reality. Drawn to Mi Jung after their chance encounter, Gyeong Rok begins moving toward his stalled dreams and future once again, portraying the clumsy yet sincere emotions of youth. 3. Director Lee Jong Pil’s delicate direction Previously known for capturing the struggles and hopes of youth in films such as “Samjin Company English Class” and “Escape,” the director has shared that he had long dreamed of creating a romance film since his teenage years. Unlike the original novel, which unfolds in a first-person perspective, the film reconstructs the story through the viewpoints of Mi Jung, Yo Han, and Gyeong Rok, presenting a more layered portrayal of love, friendship, and growth. A diverse soundtrack spanning classical, rock, jazz, and Korean pop—along with visual motifs of light such as auroras, sunsets, and rainbows—enhances the film’s distinctive melodramatic atmosphere. “Pavane” will be released on Netflix on February 20 at 5 p.m. KST.
Watch: Jisoo Meets Her Dream Virtual Boyfriends As Seo In Guk Enters Her Real World In “Boyfriend On Demand”
Netflix’s upcoming drama “Boyfriend on Demand” has unveiled a new poster and a main trailer! Helmed by director Kim Jung Sik of “Work Later, Drink Now” and “Not Others,” “Boyfriend on Demand” is a romantic comedy that follows Seo Mi Rae (BLACKPINK’s Jisoo), an overworked webtoon producer who subscribes to a virtual dating simulation service to experience the dates of her dreams. The newly released poster radiates a dreamy atmosphere, as if Mi Rae has stepped into a virtual world. Floating around her are bubble-like glimpses of the distinct virtual boyfriends she can experience, each offering a different kind of charm. The main trailer follows Mi Rae as she escapes her repetitive daily routine and enters “Boyfriend on Demand,” a subscription-based virtual dating simulation service. Guided by the dating manager (Yoo In Na), who assures her, “We put in everything you like,” Mi Rae takes her first step into the virtual world—and just as promised, fantasy-like moments unfold before her eyes. She meets a prince-like suitor, encounters a first-love senior on a cherry blossom-filled campus, receives a bold confession from a handsome doctor, and even embarks on dreamlike dates with a secret agent and a top star. After these thrilling, heart-fluttering experiences, Mi Rae is left reeling with sweet excitement. Meanwhile, in the real world, she keeps crossing paths with Kyeong Nam (Seo In Guk). The two unexpectedly become “overtime workmates,” and the subtle spark that begins to grow between them adds another layer of intrigue. The trailer also reveals a dazzling lineup of special appearances, with Seo Kang Jun, Lee Soo Hyuk, Ong Seong Wu, Lee Jae Wook, Lee Hyun Wook, Kim Young Dae, Jay Park, and Lee Sang Yi appearing as Mi Rae’s virtual boyfriends, each bringing their own unique appeal. Adding to the series’ charm are Ha Young and Yoo In Na, whose lively performances heighten its playful energy. Director Kim Jung Sik shared, “One of the biggest charms of ‘Boyfriend on Demand’ is that within a single project, the main character experiences romance with various individuals across different universes and settings. As such, viewers will be able to enjoy a wide spectrum of romantic comedies.” Regarding the virtual dating scenes, he added, “We focused on showcasing Jisoo’s diverse charms in as many ways as possible. That’s why each episode features different professions and settings, and we subtly adjusted her acting tone so that her roles in the virtual world feel distinct from the real-life Mi Rae.” “Boyfriend on Demand” will premiere on March 6.
Kim Hye Yoon Is A Director Who Sets Out To Unravel The Mystery Surrounding "Whispering Water" In New Film
The highly anticipated horror film “Whispering Water” has released its first stills of Kim Hye Yoon in character! “Whispering Water” is a horror film about a production crew sent to a reservoir named Salmokji to reshoot road-view footage after an unidentified figure was spotted in their initial footage. There, they encounter a mysterious presence lurking in the dark, deep water. Kim Hye Yoon takes on the role of Soo In, a producing director who leads the crew to Salmokji to re-photograph the street view image in which the mysterious figure was captured. Soo In, who said, “I only believe what I’ve seen with my own eyes,” will be depicted undergoing psychological changes as she confronts unexplainable terror as well as engaging in a desperate struggle with her colleagues to escape Salmokji. The newly released stills capture extreme emotions—from a startled facial expression as if she has witnessed something in the night at Salmokji to a face filled with fear. Director Lee Sang Min remarked, “She is a character with a strong sense of responsibility—someone who is afraid but tries to resolve things to the very end. We judged that Kim Hye Yoon’s sharp and powerful image suits Soo In, who is cool-headed and quick-witted. From the start, Soo In had to be portrayed by Kim Hye Yoon.” “Whispering Water” is scheduled to hit theaters on April 8. Stay tuned!
Kim Hye Yoon Encounters Terrifying Unknown At Cursed Reservoir In Poster For New Horror Film “Whispering Water”
The upcoming film “Whispering Water” has unveiled two new posters! “Whispering Water” is a horror film about a production crew sent to a reservoir named Salmokji to reshoot road-view footage after an unidentified figure was spotted in their initial footage. There, they encounter a mysterious presence lurking in the dark, deep water. The two newly released posters heighten anticipation by bringing the terror of Salmokji to life—a place described by the tagline, “A crossing point between life and death,” where escaping alive is said to be impossible. A shadowy, unidentified figure standing in the middle of the darkness-covered reservoir, along with a grotesquely shaped tree that appears as though something could emerge from between its branches, creates a chilling and suspenseful mood. Meanwhile, the back view of Su In (Kim Hye Yoon) sitting alone by the water raises curiosity about whether she and the filming crew—who have stepped into a place they should never have entered—will be able to escape safely. As Su In shines her flashlight into the water, tension builds over the mysterious presence she may be facing, while the ominous view of Salmokji—seemingly pulling her into its depths—casts a dark sense of dread over what awaits beneath the surface. “Whispering Water” is set to hit theaters on April 8.
