Singer Kim Ji-hyun, visits screen in seven years after "Summer Time"

Kim Ji-hyun, who used to be in the group Roo'ra, will visit the screen.

Juggling her solo singing career, acting, and personal business, she has finished filming independent film "Purple Rain".

Director Jang Dong-hyeon, who was the assistant director for "My Wife Is a Gangster 2" and "Gohae", is directing "Purple Rain", the story of Yong-dae, a director of erotic videos, and Young-hee, a worker at a bar. The main characters are Choi Hak-rak, who has shown his acting in "Raybang" and "Lump of Sugar", and Choi Eun-ju, who starred in "My Wife Is a Gangster" and "The First Amendment". Kim Ji-hyun plays the wife of Yong-dae.

More than anything else, the actors and staff were captivated by the perfect scenario and participated for no pay.

Those from the producing company said, "The actors including Kim Ji-hyun saw the script and decided to participate with no salary out of their pure hearts rather than commercial profit".

Mid-last month, they finished filming the last scene when Yong-dae meets Young-hee to give her the most special present in the world. Filming lasted two months, and "Purple Rain" is currently in its later stage of producing but the premiere date is undecided.
