Lee Jong Won Faces Suffocating Horror While Searching For Missing Colleague Kim Hye Yoon In New Film “Whispering Water”

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

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.

Kim Hye Yoon And Lomon Go On A Sweet Morning Date In "No Tail To Tell"

Kim Hye Yoon And Lomon Go On A Sweet Morning Date In "No Tail To Tell"

Kim Hye Yoon and Lomon’s ordinary human romance is just getting started on “No Tail to Tell”! SBS’s “No Tail to Tell” is a fantasy romance drama starring Kim Hye Yoon as Eun Ho, a quirky Gen Z gumiho (magical nine-tailed fox) who is determined not to become human, and Lomon as Kang Si Yeol, an overly confident world-class soccer player. The drama will follow their chaotic journey as the two attempt to save one another. Spoilers Previously on “No Tail to Tell,” Eun Ho unilaterally announced that she needed to date Kang Si Yeol, marking the start of an unusual and ambiguous relationship between the two of them. At the end of their first date, Eun Ho declared that she planned to erase his memories if they returned to their original lives, leading Kang Si Yeol to respond by kissing her. In newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, the relationship between the two humans begins in earnest. While taking a walk in the morning, the couple holds hands and gazes at one another with happy, loving smiles. Worried that Eun Ho might catch a cold from the chill in the morning air, Kang Si Yeol carefully adjusts her hat—an affectionate gesture that startles the inexperienced Eun Ho by making her heart skip a beat. The “No Tail to Tell” production team remarked, “Just as Eun Ho had hoped, they will begin a very ordinary, typical romance. Please keep an eye on what sorts of crises and trials await these two characters, who are so happy that they aren’t even fazed by their overturned fates, and how they will overcome them.” They went on to tease, “An even more unpredictable plot will unfold in the second half of the story.” The next episode of “No Tail to Tell” will air on February 19 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

Kim Hye Yoon’s New Human Life Begins With Tough Part-Time Jobs In “No Tail To Tell”

Kim Hye Yoon’s New Human Life Begins With Tough Part-Time Jobs In “No Tail To Tell”

SBS’s “No Tail to Tell” has shared a glimpse of Kim Hye Yoon’s hectic daily life as she tries to make a living through part-time jobs! “No Tail to Tell” is a fantasy romance starring Kim Hye Yoon as Eun Ho, a quirky Gen Z gumiho (magical nine-tailed fox) who is determined not to become human, and Lomon as Kang Si Yeol, an overly confident world-class soccer player. The drama follows the chaotic journey of the two as they attempt to save one another. Spoilers In the previous episode, Eun Ho and Kang Si Yeol’s romance officially began. Declaring, “Since I’ve already become human, I figured I might as well try dating you,” Eun Ho unilaterally launched their relationship, leaving Si Yeol with little say in the matter. The two then went on a cliché, textbook-style date like an ordinary couple, and when Eun Ho admitted she didn’t feel her heart race even while holding hands, Si Yeol surprised her with a sudden kiss, conveying his feelings. As their mutual romance begins in earnest, the newly released photos capture Eun Ho struggling to face the harsh realities of the human world. Having lost both her supernatural powers and wealth as a gumiho, Eun Ho finds herself in dire circumstances. Meanwhile, Kang Si Yeol’s fate had also been swapped with Hyun Woo Seok (Jang Dong Joo), leaving him financially strained as well. Determined to escape their penniless situation, Eun Ho decides to enter the workforce. Holding a pen and studying job listings with intense focus, she radiates unexpected determination and confidence. Thanks to her efforts, Eun Ho manages to land a job and heads to her first day of work at a neighborhood supermarket. Her first task as a rookie part-timer is to wear a mascot costume and hand out flyers. Bumped aside by indifferent passersby, her flushed and frustrated expression seems almost visible beneath the costume. Before long, she is reassigned to the sampling booth and later the checkout counter, hinting at a day that is both laughable and bittersweet. The production team shared, “In Episode 9, Eun Ho and Kang Si Yeol will officially begin their romance. As repeated misfortunes and malicious obstacles threaten to stand in their way, please look forward to seeing whether their happiness can truly last.” The next episode of “No Tail to Tell” will air on February 20 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

We judged that Kim Hye Yoon’s sharp and powerful image suits Soo In, who is cool-headed and quick-witted.
