Jeon Ji-hyeon has returned to act in Korea. With a leading role in the new movie "A Man Who Was Superman" to be directed by Jeong Yoon-cheol, Jeon returns to Chungmuro, Korea's Hollywood, after a long absence.
Korean audiences last saw Jeon in last year's "Daisy", but that movie was made by Hong Kong's Andrew Lau, director of "Infernal Affairs", and shot in Amsterdam. After working on that she took the lead in the international film "Blood: The Last Vampire" in an attempt to break into Hollywood. It has been three years since her last Korean movie, "Windstruck" in 2004.
In the new movie Jeon will appear alongside Korean actor Hwang Jeong-min. She will take on the role of Song Su-jeong, a snobbish producer who makes a documentary about the extraordinary behavior of her neighbor (played by Hwang) who believes himself to be Superman.
"Any actresses would be eager for the script and the part. Above all, I'm looking forward to acting with Hwang Jeong-min", she said. "This role is the most realistic and alive of all the parts I've had so far". The movie will start shooting at the end of this month in Jeonju and be released in the first half of next year.
