Park Ji-hyun, who showed off a daring full-body exposure and racy sex scenes in the film ‘Hidden Face’, said, “I didn‘t feel any pressure about the exposure scenes.”

‘Hidden Face’, which opens on the 20th, depicts what happens when a woman (Cho Yeo-jeong) who was thought to have disappeared is locked in a secret room and her fiancé (Song Seung-heon) witnesses an intimate affair with his junior (Park Ji-hyun). Director Kim plans to candidly portray the true face of repressed desires and forbidden relationships through this film, which has a shocking premise of a woman (Cho Yeo-jeong) watching her lover’s sex life while locked in a secret room. It is a remake of the 2011 Colombian film of the same name directed by Andres Baiz.

At the press preview held at COEX Megabox in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 13th, Park Ji-hyun said, “If you call it a challenge, it was a great challenge for an actor. However, what I worried about as an actor was whether I could digest this character well or whether I could create this character well with my clothes. That‘s why I don’t calculate exposure or things like that.”

She added, “Of course, I‘d be lying if I said I didn’t feel pressured, but the pressure I felt was not so much about that (exposure), but about whether I could digest the scene well as a character on screen and the burden of confidence.”
