Kara’s Kang Jiyoung Returns to Acting with Dual Roles in Mystery Film 'I Kill U'



Kara Kang Ji-young is coming back as an actor.

Kang Ji-young played two characters in a single movie called `I Kill You.' The film, which will be released on July 22 at Coupang Play, is an emotional mystery drama with a solid narrative and delicate emotional lines, and Kang Ji-young brings the characters 'Han Ji-yeon' and 'Sunwoo' to life.

Han Ji-yeon, played by Kang Ji-young, is the only child of a chaebol family and is a person who hides anxiety in a haughty and cold exterior. When he is driven as a perpetrator of a traffic accident in the play, he tries to put up another person to hide everything.




On the other hand, Sunwoo, another figure, is a bright and healthy young man who was about to compete for the Taekwondo national team, but his life changes completely as he appears in front of the media on behalf of Han Ji-yeon.

Kang Ji-young, who perfectly digested two characters with the same appearance but completely different souls, tried to express the character's texture differently enough to make the audience question 'How are they the same person?'"I focused on maintaining the density and rhythm of my emotions" he said.

Director Yuha's delicate directing skills are added to I Kill You, raising questions about the intertwined fate of the two characters, their inner duality, their guilt, and their recovery. In particular, Kang Ji-young's performance goes beyond simple two-person roles and centers the work with "Engine that leads psychological suspense to emotion".




The film is an official invitation to the 2025 Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, and has been receiving hot attention from both inside and outside the industry even before its first release. An official expressed anticipation, saying, `Kang Ji-young's acting transformation will be one of the most welcome discoveries in Chungmuro this year.'

In addition, Kang Ji-young will continue her active activities in Korea and Japan by presenting two films in July alone, along with the movie 'Doenjang', which is scheduled to be released on July 2, and hosting 「KARASIA: MAGICAL WORLD」 at Yokohama Pia Arena NM from July 5-6 and Kobe Jiraion Arena Kobe from August 2-3.
