Actress Song Hye-kyo returns with an even stronger performance in the second installment of the film ‘The Priests’, ‘The Nuns’.

Song Hye-kyo in the film ‘The Nuns’ (provided/distributed by: NEW | produced by: Film House | director: Kwon Hyuk-jae | cast: Song Hye-kyo, Jeon Yeo-bin, Lee Jin-wook, Moon Woo-jin) will show a new side of herself as nun ‘Unia’ who will do anything to save a boy.

‘The Nuns’ is a film about people who embark on a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. Song Hye-kyo, who won the Baeksang Arts Awards TV Category Best Actress Award and the Blue Dragon Series Awards Grand Prize for her powerful acting transformation in ‘The Glory’, is set to captivate the public as nun ‘Unia’ who will do anything to save a boy possessed by an evil spirit.

In the drama, Sister Unia is a bold and reckless character who pushes ahead with her plan with the sole intention of saving the boy ‘Hee-jun’. Song Hye-kyo delicately expresses ‘Unia’, who appears cold and indifferent but also has an earnest sincerity, completing a new character never seen before, while also displaying an irreplaceable presence with her solid charisma. Also, she will show off her new acting chemistry with Jeon Yeo-bin, who plays nun ‘Michaela’, who has a grudge against but is also attracted to ‘Unia’, so expectations are high for the special chemistry between the two.

Director Kwon Hyuk-jae said, “As nun ‘Unia’, there are many moments in the movie where Song Hye-kyo‘s face itself shines as a strong mise-en-scène with every word, expression, and look in her eyes,” praising the film, drawing attention to Song Hye-kyo’s performance. Song Hye-kyo also said, “I only thought about nun ‘Unia’ and lived as that character for three months.”

The film ‘The Nuns’ is scheduled to be released in theaters on January 24, 2025.
