Actor Yoon Hye-jin expressed her heartfelt feelings after learning that her husband, Um Tae-woong's comeback film 'I Kill You' has been invited to the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN).
Yoon Hye-jin said on her SNS on the 21st, "I reflect on the times I've quietly endured and held my heart together, wondering if such a day would really come and living with the thought that it might not come," conveying her emotions after a long wait. She added, "I sincerely thank you for allowing me to experience such a miraculous moment," revealing her overwhelming joy.
In particular, the 'I Kill You' GV (Guest Visit) event scheduled for July 9 overlaps with her mother's birthday, and she shared, "I can't shake the thought that my mom is watching over me," delivering a special meaning. Um Tae-woong's sister, actress Um Jung-hwa, sent warm support to the couple, leaving heart and tear emojis in the comments.
'I Kill You,' Um Tae-woong's comeback work, is the first drama directed by director Yoo Ha and is set to be edited for a film version, making its world premiere at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival. The story depicts a young man named 'Sun-woo,' who was once a promising taekwondo athlete but has been doing various part-time jobs to make a living, stepping forward to speak on behalf of 'Ji-yeon,' the granddaughter of a conglomerate chairman identified as a suspect in a hit-and-run incident. Kang Ji-young and Lee Gi-kwang play the roles of 'Ji-yeon' and 'Sun-woo,' respectively, while Um Tae-woong plays a key role as the 'fixer' in the drama.
Um Tae-woong's appearance in a drama is his first in about nine years since SBS's 'Wanted' in 2016, and much attention is focused on his official comeback. Previously, he gained public trust by showcasing solid performances in 'Revival,' 'King of the Ballad,' 'Queen Seondeok,' 'Blade and Flower,' and 'Special Investigations,' and he has made an impact in films such as 'You Are My Sun,' 'Cell Phone,' and 'Architecture 101.'
Yoon Hye-jin mentioned, "A few years ago, I promised the 'Jilchuk-i' fans that I would let them know first if such a day came," showing her commitment to honoring the precious promise with her fans as she said, "So I wanted to share this news first."
In the post, fans are expressing their support with comments such as, "We support you, Actor Um. We're looking forward to you," "Welcome back, Actor Um," "Finally, Actor Um is back with us," and "Has it already been 10 years? I will keep an eye on you." There is a strong interest in actor Um Tae-woong's comeback after a long hiatus.
