Kim Tae-yeon, who was loved for IU's child role, challenged the occult genre.

The press and distribution premiere of the movie 'The Old Lady - You Got Married' was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 8th. Actors Stephanie Lee, Kim Jung-min, Kim Mi-sook, Kim Tae-yeon and Noh Hong-jin attended the scene.

Released on the 17th, 'The Devil Witch - You're stuck' (hereinafter 'The Devil Witch') is an occult mystery film in which a nun who sees the dead faces the strongest curse that is difficult to solve with faith, and director Noh Hong-jin, who directed 'Goodbye Boy', took the megaphone.




Director Roh said, `I fell down after being frustrated for about 10 years while preparing for the movie. Four years ago, after his first work was elected, he suffered from living difficulties. At that time, I experienced the same thing as the main character in the work while working several part-time jobs such as food delivery and chauffeur service"Of course, I've been preparing for the work for a long time, and I've had a lot of personal difficulties. It feels unreal to have come to the release. I hope many audiences will visit the theater and watch the movie."

The actors also heralded a strong transformation through 'The Old Witch'. First, Stephanie Lee, who plays Talia, the old witch, watched the movie twice. I saw it at the technology premiere and saw it at the theater again, and it was new. Maybe because the air conditioner is full in the theater today, I watched it with a shiver."

Then, when I chose the work, I thought "Can I challenge this genre?" because I had a lot of fear of horror movies or occult genres. When I received the script, I was so scared that I went under my desk and read it on my phone, and I read it all the way in that state. Even if I read the script, I felt so immersed that I thought I would regret it if I didn't do it," he said.




Kim Tae-yeon received a lot of attention for her role as a young Ae-soon in the original Netflix series 'I've Been Fulled'. He played Jean, a daughter born to a Vietnamese mother and a Korean father, in 'The Old Lady'. Kim Tae-yeon commented on her debut on the screen, saying, "'I was completely fooled' and met the audience through a movie, and it was amazing and fun to film for the first time."

When asked if there was anything particularly difficult during the shooting, he said "There was no such part. Everything was fun. It didn't come out in the movie, but the scene of eating ramen was the best. It was my first time eating ramen. It was so good. I want to eat it again," he replied with a smile.

In addition, a movie starring actors Song Hye-kyo and Jeon Yeo-bin was released during the last Lunar New Year holiday. As the genre of the film is similar, when asked if she felt any pressure ahead of the release of 'The Devil Wives', Stephanie Lee said, "I know it was filmed around the same time as 'Black Nuns', and of course, I was interested, but I wanted to focus on filming. I haven't seen 'Black nuns' yet, and I'd like to see it if I have a chance after our movie is released. There were many difficult scenes when filming, so I was worried a lot. There are so many scary scenes in front of my eyes, and I was worried if I could focus on them and act them. But when I took it, I had a good chemistry with the actors, so I had a good time filming it."
