Park Jung-min took a year off and couldn't stand it, so he showed his face again..Two roles for one person → A drastic transformation of visually impaired characters

Jul 28, 2025

Mystery film 'Face' (directed by Yeon Sang-ho, produced by Wow Point) heralded actor Park Jung-min's drastic transformation.

'Face' reveals the sidewalk still, adding to the curiosity about the movie. With the theater's release confirmed in September, the 50th Toronto International Film Festival's special presentation section, which is officially invited to be held from September 4th to 14th, is attracting attention as the mysterious story unfolding across the present and past points of view and the good performance of faces representing Korean films such as Park Jung-min, Kwon Hae-hyo, Shin Hyun-bin, Lim Sung-jae and Han Ji-hyun are captured.

First of all, Park Jung-min's curious stills about his challenge to acting in a two-person role, which is being criticized for having changed his face after the trailer was released, draw attention. Lim Young-kyu, a visually impaired artisan, and Park Jung-min's colorful faces, who played his son Lim Dong-hwan, raise expectations for his performance in the film.

Kwon Hae-hyo's appearance, which shows the aura of craftsmen in all fields, is also expected to show his colorful performance, while his high synchronicity with Park Jung-min, who played as a young man, also catches the eye. In addition, her husband, Lim Young-gyu, and her son, Lim Dong-hwan, can also check the images of Jung Young-hee (Shin Hyun-bin), who has never seen her face, raising curiosity about Jung Young-hee's face in the movie and the mystery surrounding her.

In addition, Lim Sung-jae, who will present a three-dimensional face as the president of a clothing factory that dominates the Cheonggyecheon area, and Han Ji-hyun, who turned into a documentary producer with a quite different atmosphere from his previous roles, arouse questions about how they get involved in events in the movie.

Also eye-catching are stills of a mysterious story that gradually unravels through five interviews. Jeong Young-hee, the mother who met for the first time in 40 years as a white bone body that could have been killed, and her mother's brothers who met her at the funeral without a portrait. Lim Dong-hwan, the son who heard about his mother's face for the first time, digs into the mystery by meeting his colleagues who worked with his mother at the Cheonggyecheon clothing factory one after another with PD Kim Soo-jin, a documentary filming his father.

Even the father was blind and could not see his wife, Jung Young-hee, and the reality of his mother's face, which he had never seen since he was separated as a newborn baby, and the double mystery of who killed her, amplifies tension with still images alone.

In particular, Mise-en-scène, which details the era of more than 40 years from the 1970s to the modern point, is raising expectations for a well-made production that will be vividly reproduced on the screen.

'Face' is a story about a blind man and his son, who are reborn as masters in all fields, discovering the mystery of his mother's death, which has been buried for 40 years. Park Jung-min, Kwon Hae-hyo, Shin Hyun-bin, Lim Sung-jae, and Han Ji-hyun appeared, and Yeon Sang-ho, director of 'Train to Busan'Ban Peninsula', took the megaphone. It will be released in September.
