Kim Hye Yoon, Lee Jong Won, And More Trapped In Endless Loop Of Fear In New Horror Film “Whispering Water”
The film “Whispering Water” has unveiled new stills featuring its cast! “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 newly released stills show the tense reactions of the characters facing the terror of Salmokji. The stills show Su In (Kim Hye Yoon) and the film crew as they head to Salmokji to reshoot a road view that had captured something unusual. In the road view shot by Kyung Tae (Kim Young Sung), a suspicious figure appears. In another still, after losing contact for a while, Kyo Sik (Kim Jun Han) suddenly reappears in Salmokji with an unsettling presence, deepening the mystery. In more stills, as night falls over Salmokji, Su In looks confused after receiving a phone call revealing a shocking truth, leaving viewers to wonder what she has just discovered. Kyung Joon (Oh Dong Min) and Sung Bin (Yoon Jae Chan) are in a daze while gripping flashlights, while Se Jeong (Jang Da A) is staring at a motion detector that can capture ghosts and freezes in fear. What may be hiding in the darkness? Meanwhile, Ki Tae (Lee Jong Won), who arrives at Salmokji after the others, gets lost and ends up at an old woman’s house, where he learns the secrets surrounding Salmokji. Questions mount about whether he can escape safely with Su In and the rest of the group. The more the crew tries to leave Salmokji, the more they seem to circle the same area, and, as if possessed, they are drawn toward the water. Eventually, Su In and Ki Tae collapse to the ground, overwhelmed with shock, hinting that the horror they faced went beyond their imagination. “Whispering Water” is scheduled to hit theaters on April 8.
Park Ji Hoon Is A Lonely Dethroned King In Special Poster For "The King's Warden" Celebrating 9 Million Moviegoers
“The King’s Warden” is celebrating 9 million moviegoers with a special poster! “The King’s Warden” is the first Korean film to center on the hidden story of King Danjong (Park Ji Hoon). The sixth king of Joseon, Danjong ascended the throne at age 12 but was dethroned by his uncle Grand Prince Suyang and exiled to Cheongnyeongo in Gangwon Province, where he met his tragic end. Earlier on March 2, the film exceeded 9 million admissions approximately 27 days after its release on February 4, with the achievement being made only just a day after the film crossed 8 million viewers on March 1. In celebration of 9 million moviegoers, “The King’s Warden” unveiled a new poster of Yi Hong Wi (the personal name of King Danjong), who has been exiled to Cheongnyeongo, sitting alone near the river and playing with the water. Yoo Hae Jin, who plays Gwangcheongol village chief Eom Heung Do, expressed his thoughts on the scene, saying, “I remember the scene where Yi Hong Wi plays with the water by the river at the place of exile, and I wonder if Eom Heung Do felt like he was looking at his son. At his age, he should have been living freely, not in exile, which made it all the more heartbreaking.” Park Ji Hoon shared, “The scene where I’m squatting by the river was created at Yoo Hae Jin’s suggestion. Thinking about it, I wondered what he was thinking playing with the water alone at the place of exile at an age where he should have been running and playing around with friends. I tried to express those feelings from Danjong.” “The King’s Warden” is currently on its way to reach 10 million moviegoers. Stay tuned for updates!

Get ready for a mini “Single’s Inferno 5” reunion on the next episode of MBC’s “The Manager”! The popular reality show has released a preview of its upcoming episode, which will feature “Single’s Inferno 5” star Lee Sunghun as a guest. The preview begins by introducing Lee Sunghun, a quantitative trader from New York who recently entered the spotlight through Season 5 of the hit dating show “Single’s Inferno.” After waking up and checking various stock markets over breakfast, Lee Sunghun happily watches a behind-the-scenes video of the “Single’s Inferno 5” cast from a magazine photo shoot. Next, Lee Sunghun heads to a pub to play poker, explaining that it’s favored by quants because it’s a game of probability that has a lot in common with their work. After showing off his skills, Lee Sunghun meets up with four fellow members of the “Single’s Inferno 5” cast: Kim Mingee, Park Heesun, Kim Go Eun, and Woo Sung Min. The cast members talk about how they’ve hung out a lot after filming ended, with Woo Sung Min sharing that he’s seen Kim Go Eun quite a bit. Kim Mingee asks Lee Sunghun whether he’s met up with Choi Mina Sue since becoming a “final couple” on the show, though his reply isn’t revealed in the preview.

The preview ends with both the “Single’s Inferno 5” cast and the panelists asking Lee Sunghun about the mystery woman with whom he was recently spotted, which led to speculation that he had started dating someone after the show.
