Actress Park Han-byeol returns to the screen after six years.

Park Han-byeol has been cast as ‘Yang PD’ in the movie ‘Karma’(directed by Han Jong-hoon, produced by DMP STUDIO, Bitgeum Pictures). As this is her first comeback in a long while, expectations are high for Park Han-byeol’s new acting transformation.

‘Karma’ is a story about past misdeeds coming back as fatal karma in the future and destroying lives.

Along with Park Han-byul, talented actors such as Park Ho-san, Park Si-hoo, Jung In-ki, and Jang Hyuk-jin will appear together, adding to the tension and immersion of the play. Attention is focused on how the acting ensemble will unfold with just their combination.

In the drama, Park Han-byeol(as PD Yang) is a documentary program producer who records the lives of crime victims, and is a complex character who is conflicted between pursuing the truth and producing sensational content for viewer ratings. In this work, Park Han-byeol will play a character who walks a tightrope between cool ambition and the ethical boundaries of journalism behind her calm and rational image.

‘Karma’ is directed by Han Jong-hoon, who made his groundbreaking debut with the 2013 film ‘The Act’. It is scheduled to be submitted to domestic and international film festivals in the second half of the year and released in theaters in 2026.

The Sanskrit word ‘karma’ refers to good or evil actions done with the body, mouth, and mind that are said to be the cause of good or evil consequences in the future.

Park Han-byeol has been active in various fields such as dramas, movies, and entertainment, and is signaling another profound acting transformation through the movie ‘Karma’.
