Actress Kim Hyun-joo, best known for her lead role in Netflixs “Hellbound,” said the emergence of streaming services has allowed her to take on more diverse roles. “Now that we have plenty of streaming platform options, actors are given a wider array of roles and filmmakers are experimenting with a variety of genres. For me, personally, I was able to push my boundaries to see what else I can do differently as an actor,” she said during a recent interview with The Korea Times.

Director Yeon Sang-ho and the cast of “Jung_E” paid tribute to legendary actor Kang Soo-youn during a press conference for the film held in Seoul, Thursday. Kang, 55, died of a cerebral hemorrhage in May 2022 while “Jung_E” was in post-production. Yeon, the mastermind behind hit films and series such as “Train to Busan” (2016) and “Hellbound” (2021), revealed that Kang was the reason he wanted to turn “Jung_E” into a film.

“Jung_E,” a dystopian sci-fi film featuring Kang Soo-youn in her final film appearance, will debut on Netflix on Jan. 20. Kang died of a cerebral hemorrhage in May while “Jung_E” was in post-production and eight months before the films release.
