Amidst the enthusiastic performance of actress Kim Gyu-ri, who seems to have swallowed former First Lady Kim Gun-hee, who was the inspiration for the movie ‘Shinmyeong’, and showed perfect synchronization with the character, expectations are rising, and the unconventional ‘Gununggut’ scene of Kim Gyu-ri that was revealed in the trailer is causing a stir online.

In the video released on the night of the 24th through the YouTube channel ‘Open Empathy TV’, Kim Gyu-ri took off her mask with a bloody face and screamed in Japanese, “Get out! (Kiero!)” in just a 10-second scene, showing explosive immersion and crazy acting, leaving a deep shock and strong impression on the viewers.

In particular, netizens are expressing their anticipation for the movie, expecting Kim Gyu-ri to deliver the ‘acting of a lifetime.’

Meanwhile, ‘Shinmyeong’, which will be released on June 2, tells the story of Yoon Ji-hee(Kim Gyu-ri), a woman who erases her past and rises to the position of first lady under the protection of a prosecutor with the help of sorcery.

This work, which depicts the confrontation between Yoon Ji-hee, a woman who seeks to seize power through mysterious sorcery, and a journalist who tracks her plot, is expected to be an original work that combines the occult, politics, and thriller genres.
