‘Hidden Face’ press conference reveals cast’s bold challenges and intriguing thriller

AKP STAFF


The unique thriller film 'Hidden Face' has finally unveiled its secrets. The trailer piqued curiosity with “What kind of movie could this be?”, and the film’s twists and turns keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

On November 13th, a press screening for 'Hidden Face' was held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam, Seoul. The cast, including Song Seung Hun, Jo Yeo Jeong, Park Ji Hyun, and director Kim Dae Woo, attended the event.

Reflecting on reuniting with Jo Yeo Jeong a decade after 'Obsessed', Song Seung Hun said, “Once again, we’re portraying a relationship where lines shouldn’t be crossed. Even though it’s just a film, I feel sorry for overstepping with my fiancée’s junior.” He added, “Jo Yeo Jeong’s performance is incredibly reassuring. She brings so much depth to her role that it made me aspire to become an actor of her caliber.”




Jo Yeo Jeong remarked, “This project was challenging, but I embraced it with enjoyment. More than ever, it was crucial to stay focused on my partners and reactions.”


Park Ji Hyun, who embraced bold challenges, including nude scenes, commented, “As an actor, each role is a major challenge, and my focus is always on whether I can portray the character well. The exposure didn’t weigh on me, but I did feel pressure about conveying Mi Joo’s character with authenticity on screen.”

She added, “I gained confidence through discussions with my senior actors and the director. I felt loved on set and have no fear about the results because I learned so much from the process.”




The actors shared their experiences of the film’s demanding moments. Song Seung Hun noted, “My character isn’t openly driven by desire, but his instincts emerge when he meets Mi Joo after his fiancée goes missing. Portraying this subtly required careful expression.” He also joked, “There were scenes with exposure, so I had to diet, fighting constant hunger.”


Jo Yeo Jeong commented, “Filming in confined spaces was naturally challenging, but seeing that difficulty come through effectively on screen made it worthwhile.”


Park Ji Hyun noted, “One challenging aspect was learning to play the cello convincingly. Even with practice, I wanted to do better, and that made it tough.”


Lastly, Song Seung Hun expressed, “The Korean film market is in a tough spot. I hope 'Hidden Face' can become a new breakthrough.”


'Hidden Face' follows Seong Jin (Song Seung Heon) as he searches for his missing fiancée, Soo Yeon (Jo Yeo Jeong). When Soo Yeon’s junior, Mi Joo (Park Ji Hyun), appears, Seong Jin is drawn into a web of secrets as he discovers Soo Yeon confined in a hidden space. The film opens on November 20th.
