The movie ‘Ghost Cop’ has released a video tribute to the late Kim Soo-mi, drawing attention.

The movie ‘Ghost Cop’ is a family comedy about a cop who gains minor abilities after being struck by lightning out of the blue after never having made a fortune, and his family and unexpected incidents.

The first family comedy ‘Ghost Cop’ to be released in the new year of 2025 has released a video tribute to the late Kim Soo-mi that contains the production team‘s gratitude. ‘Ghost Cop’ is the last work of the late Kim Soo-mi, who passed away on October 25th at the age of 75, and it is a film in which she collaborated with Shin Hyun-joon, with whom she had a close bond beyond her actual father-son relationship while working on the ‘Barefoot Kibong’ and ‘Family’s Glory’ series.

As the time of remembrance for Kim Soo-mi continues, including her recent acceptance speech at the MBC Drama Awards, the production team of ‘Ghost Cop’ also expressed their feelings. The video begins by first praying for the souls of the Jeju Air plane passengers and paying tribute. The video begins by talking about how to remember Kim Soo-mi, which Kim Soo-mi herself talked about during her appearance on ‘All the Butlers’. Afterwards, the actors and staff of ‘Ghost Cop’, including Shin Hyun-joon and Jung Joon-ho, write their remembrances in a sketchbook. In particular, Shin Hyun-joon has often expressed his longing for Kim Soo-mi on his SNS, writing, “I hope this will be a fun and warm movie that makes many people smile comfortably and feel the importance of family once again, just like my mother wished.”

Since then, Kim Soo-mi‘s representative works, such as the drama [Country Diaries], have continued to be released, making us feel once again the importance of her who has been with us. Next, the greeting video with Shin Hyun-joon, who worked with ‘Ghost Cop’, and Chae Si-yeon, who plays the role of the grandson, saying “See you at the premiere~”, moved everyone. As such, this video is too short to show everything about Kim Soo-mi, but it will be a small comfort to those who want to be with her, and it will be an opportunity to remember and commemorate her once again. This tribute video will also be screened at the press preview and family preview of ‘Ghost Cop’, which will be held at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall on the 13th, and her acquaintances and the film industry will have a time to commemorate her together.

‘Ghost Cop’, which is foreshadowing Kim Soo-mi’s last smile by releasing this tribute video, will meet the audience on January 24th.
