Actors Kim Hye-yoon and Lee Jong-won have teamed up for the horror film ‘Salmokji’ (tentative title).

‘Salmokji’ (tentative title), which will start filming in May, is a horror film that depicts the events that unfold as the filming crew heads to a reservoir to update the road view where an unidentified figure was filmed and encounters something deep in the black water.

Kim Hye-yoon, who captivated viewers in the drama ‘Seonjae Up and Run’, which enjoyed explosive popularity both domestically and internationally, and rose to become the next-generation ‘Romance Queen’, is aiming for the ‘Horror Queen’ title, which only actors with both acting skills and popularity can achieve, through ‘Salmokji’ (tentative title).The character played by Kim Hye-yoon, Su-in, is a character who experiences a series of incomprehensible incidents at a reservoir while on a business trip.

Lee Jong-won plays the role of Ki-tae, who heads toward the reservoir mystery with Soo-in.Since his debut, Lee Jong-won has proven his potential with his diverse charms regardless of genre and character, and he will challenge the horror genre for the first time through ‘Salmokji’ (tentative title).He is expected to meet the audience with his fresh acting as he takes on his first commercial film lead role since his debut.

The megaphone will be directed by Lee Sang-min.Director Lee Sang-min has been recognized as a promising star in Chungmuro, having won awards at numerous film festivals for his short films “Dollim Gun” and “Ham Jin-ah-bi.” Production will be handled by The Lamp, which has also produced numerous box office hits such as “A Taxi Driver” and “Samjin Group English TOEIC Class.”
