Kim Jun Han Is Kim Hye Yoon’s Team Leader Who Suddenly Shows Up After Being Out Of Contact In New Film “Whispering Water”
The upcoming horror film “Whispering Water” has released its first stills of Kim Jun Han! “Whispering Water” is a horror film about a production crew sent to a reservoir named Salmokji to reshoot road-view footage after an unidentified figure was spotted in their initial footage. There, they encounter a mysterious presence lurking in the dark, deep water. Kim Jun Han plays Kyo Sik, Su In’s (Kim Hye Yoon) senior and a mysterious figure. In the film, he takes on the most enigmatic role of his career, adding to the film’s chilling and eerie tension. Kyo Sik is the Onroad Media team leader who usually focuses only on work and is a senior Su In trusts and follows more than anyone else. After a business trip to Salmokji, during which he lost contact, he suddenly appears in front of the film crew upon their arrival at the reservoir. He acts calmly as if nothing happened, but he soon repeats strange, incomprehensible behaviors, gradually increasing a sense of unease. The stills capture Kyo Sik’s contrasting moods, moving between the day and night in Salmokji and between warmth and coldness, creating a subtle tension. In particular, his figure standing in the darkness of Salmokji with a meaningful expression hints at a hidden secret he holds. Kim Jun Han described the character, saying, “Kyo Sik is a mysterious figure, a role that leaves the audience questioning him.” Director Lee Sang Min added, “Kyo Sik is a figure whose thoughts are impossible to read, and Kim Jun Han’s impression and voice fit him perfectly.” “Whispering Water” is scheduled to hit theaters on April 8.

Lee Jong Won Faces Suffocating Horror While Searching For Missing Colleague Kim Hye Yoon In New Film “Whispering Water”
The upcoming horror film “Whispering Water” has released its first stills of Lee Jong Won! “Whispering Water” is a horror film about a production crew sent to a reservoir named Salmokji to reshoot road-view footage after an unidentified figure was spotted in their initial footage. There, they encounter a mysterious presence lurking in the dark, deep water.

The film follows a seven-member production crew who travel to Salmokji after an unidentified figure—one they never filmed—appears in previously captured road-view footage. As they investigate, a hidden presence lurking beneath the reservoir’s dark, deep waters begins to emerge, unleashing terrifying consequences. Ki Tae, a producer at a road-view company, heads to Salmokji in search of his missing colleague Su In, only to find himself drawn into a suffocating horror that traps him like a swamp. The newly released stills capture his growing unease, from standing tense in a dim office while gripping his phone to the shocking moment he arrives at Salmokji and is overwhelmed by what he encounters. Lee Jong Won shared, “Ki Tae is someone with a strong sense of responsibility and a deep desire to protect others. He’s the type who acts before he speaks—a character who moves forward without looking back,” adding, “I was excited to see what kind of story and fear could be created when I naturally immersed myself in the script.” “Whispering Water” is scheduled to hit theaters on April 8.
Go Ah Sung, Byun Yo Han, And Moon Sang Min’s New Film “Pavane” Reveals Key Reasons To Tune In
Netflix’s new film “Pavane” has unveiled key points to watch ahead of its release today! Based on the best-selling novel “Pavane for a Dead Princess,” “Pavane” tells the story of three young adults struggling to love themselves. As these emotionally closed-off individuals find solace in each other’s company and slowly become a ray of light for one another, they ultimately learn to face life and love again. Here are three key highlights of the film! 1. The quiet yet heartfelt comfort and relatability conveyed through the trio’s coming-of-age journey Mi Jung (Go Ah Sung), Yo Han (Byun Yo Han), and Gyeong Rok (Moon Sang Min)—each carrying emotional wounds that prevent them from loving even themselves—the film paints a poignant portrait of youth navigating a harsh reality. As the three naturally grow closer and slowly rediscover light in their lives together, the story promises a tender depiction of youth and healing. Director Lee Jong Pil shared, “I hoped the film would hold the feelings people have about love and youth,” adding that “Pavane” delivers a story that is both sweet and bittersweet, offering empathy and gentle consolation to young people forced to give up dreams and love in the face of reality. 2. Chemistry between Go Ah Sung, Byun Yo Han, and Moon Sang Min Go Ah Sung, known for her stable and delicate acting, plays Mi Jung, a woman who hides herself from others’ gaze. After meeting Gyeong Rok, the first person to treat her without prejudice, Mi Jung gradually begins to change. Byun Yo Han takes on the role of Yo Han, a free-spirited and unpredictable character—at times lighthearted yet serious, warm yet distant—whose layered personality comes alive through the actor’s signature depth. Moon Sang Min plays Gyeong Rok, a young man who gave up his dream of becoming a temporary dancer and now faces harsh reality. Drawn to Mi Jung after their chance encounter, Gyeong Rok begins moving toward his stalled dreams and future once again, portraying the clumsy yet sincere emotions of youth. 3. Director Lee Jong Pil’s delicate direction Previously known for capturing the struggles and hopes of youth in films such as “Samjin Company English Class” and “Escape,” the director has shared that he had long dreamed of creating a romance film since his teenage years. Unlike the original novel, which unfolds in a first-person perspective, the film reconstructs the story through the viewpoints of Mi Jung, Yo Han, and Gyeong Rok, presenting a more layered portrayal of love, friendship, and growth. A diverse soundtrack spanning classical, rock, jazz, and Korean pop—along with visual motifs of light such as auroras, sunsets, and rainbows—enhances the film’s distinctive melodramatic atmosphere. “Pavane” will be released on Netflix on February 20 at 5 p.m. KST.
