After five years, the actress is making a comeback to the big screen with a thriller-sci-fi film.

Helmed by Uhm Tae Hwa of "Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned," "Concrete Utopia" is based on part 2 of the webtoon "Happy Boy," which focuses on the survivor's journey after a devastating earthquake hit Seoul.

Why Did Park Bo Young Choose 'Concrete Utopia' as Her Comeback Movie?

The 33-year-old star dished on an interesting reason she accepted the offer in "Concrete Utopia." As mentioned by a media outlet, Park Bo Young said it's mainly because of the script and his senior, Lee Byung Hun, who is also her labelmate.

Meanwhile, Lee Byung Hun plays as Young Tak, who acts as the leader whose responsibility is to protect the tenants of their building and keep them safe from possible danger.

On the other hand, Park Bo Young admitted that she felt "awkward" during the initial state of the movie's filming, especially around Park Seo Joon.

The actress said that it was her first time working with the actor, and as their first filming together, they had to film their wedding scene.

"When I first met Park Seo Joon, I said hello and immediately wore a wedding dress," she said, adding that she was confused about whether she could put her hand on him.

"We were supposed to look affectionate, but I wondered if I was being impolite," the actress added.

Thankfully, they got passed the awkward stage and "gradually synchronized and got comfortable" around each other.

"Concrete Utopia" is slated to hit the big screen on August 23.
