On the morning of the 21st, a press conference was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, for Amazon's original prime video series 'Butterfly' (directed by Kim Jin-min, Kitao Sakurai, and Yantner). The press conference was attended by Daniel Dae-Kim as former U.S. spy David Jung, Raina Hardisti as David Jung's daughter Rebecca, Kim Ji-hoon as the cold-blooded killer who pursues David Jung and his daughter Rebecca, Kim Tae-hee as David Jung's wife Kim Eun-joo, and Sean Richards as a competent intelligence analyst and linguist from the CIA.
Kim Tae-hee said, `The work I always like was a genre and role that I haven't done in my previous work. Unexpectedly, I played many unique roles and genres. In this work, the collaboration with the United States felt like a new opportunity. But the role is ordinary. I hope the audience will sympathize a lot with the female character I played. The makeup is light and the hair and outfit are natural. It's my most normal self. In Korean works, there was pressure to be as pretty as possible, but in this work, I tried to focus on support. I personally found it fresh in the unadorned and set parts", he confessed.
Based on Arash Amel's graphic novel of the same name, the spy thriller series 'Butterfly' tells the story of a veiled former U.S. spy and an incumbent agent sent to kill him. Daniel Dae-Kim, Raina Hardesty, Kim Ji-hoon, Kim Tae-hee, Park Hae-soo, and Sean Richards appeared, and it was released overseas on the 13th and will be broadcast on tvN at 10:40 p.m. on the 22nd in Korea.
