Song Ji Hyo expressed her thoughts about her upcoming movie "Intruder" in her recent interview and photoshoot with magazine Cine21.
The new thriller film "Intruder," starring actress Song Ji Hyo as Yoo Jin, is a story about a woman who suddenly vanished 25 years ago. Then, decades later, she returned and came back to her family. However, things began to change bit by bit within them.
Seo Jin, played by Kim Moo Yeol, is Yoo Jin's older brother. He starts to feel suspicious about her sister, and in his journey to uncover the mystery that Yoo Jin is hiding, he faces a shocking truth.
Opposite to her friendly and charming image as one of Korea's most loved stars, Song Ji Hyo will be creating a surprising transition in this particular film as the character of Yoo Jin.
The actress posed for the cover of Cine21 with a colder, edgier vibe, relating to her character in the forthcoming movie, and clad in a dramatic black and white outfit while staring at the camera with a fierce look.
The actress shared in her interview that she's been feeling worried about carrying a role that's quite contrary to the public's image of her. She expressed that she did feel scared because the part given to her has an entirely different aura from the image she currently has with the public as an actress.
The film was actually set to premiere earlier. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it got postponed twice. In the last update, "Intruder" is confirmed to premiere on June 4.
