Actor Lim Do-hwa opened her second act as an actor from the youngest of AOA through the movie 「Black Ryeong」.

On the 12th, the press and distribution premiere of the movie Black Ryeong was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Anupam Tripathi, Lim Do-hwa (AOA Chan-mi), Kwak Soo-jin and Kim Hyun-joon attended the scene.

Released on the 27th, 'Black Spirit' is an occult horror that begins when Sua is 25 years old when she sees something she shouldn't see, caught up in a creepy fate and a mysterious man named Anuat follows her, and director Kim Hyun-joon took the megaphone.




Anupam Tripathi, who established himself as a world star through "Squid Game", challenged the occult genre for the first time with "Black Spirit". Playing Anouyat, a mysterious man with a secret past in the play, he said, "The director wrote it for me, so I got to participate in the movie. In the meantime, I haven't had many opportunities to participate in Kumasaje or occult water, but thank you for choosing me as the main character. I met the director and talked a lot about how to come up with the character. It is meaningful to watch it at Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival last year and see it at the theater today. I hope many people will love our movie even if it's not enough," he said of the wind.

Lim Do-hwa plays Su-ah, who faces the inevitable fate of her death by the age of 25. "Actually, it's not easy to express one character, but I was very grateful for giving me the opportunity to challenge myself to play two roles," he said. "I was worried that I would only show you a boring and consistent performance while acting, but I talked a lot with the director during the table reading. He also gave me a lot of directions and hints about the character, so I tried to make it by referring to that part."

In June, he married actor Song Eui-hwan and received congratulations from many people. Lim Do-hwa is having a happy time because her colleagues who were filming the movie together came to the wedding hall. Although I am married, I want to work more and more stably and happily in the future. I'll try to see you in more places."




Earlier in 2012, Lim Do-hwa debuted with the group AOA under the name of `Chanmi' and received much love from the public. Since then, he has turned into an actor four years after his debut, continuing his active acting career. He "A lot of people were against me when I changed my last name and changed my name. Nevertheless, the reason I wanted to change my name is because I want to live responsibly for the rest of my life. I've been loved for a long time as a praise, but now that time has become a memory for me. I want to have a meaningful start because there is a way to walk forward. I'm very satisfied. I will take responsibility so that I can show my acting in a good work" he said.

About her husband Song Eui-hwan, who is active as an actor, "He is also directing while working as an actor. Whenever I get a script or audition, I ask my husband a lot of advice. In that regard, I've been grateful since I was in a relationship. Even now, before going to audition, I still do the script with my husband. On the contrary, I said, "My husband tends to give advice on his appearance before he goes to audition."

Kwak Soo-jin, who played Su-ah's friend Yoon-mi, thought about how to express the boundary between the two faces because he is a rich and friendly villain character. It was my first time acting as a villain, so I tried to bring out the bad side that was hidden in me. I also enjoyed watching works with many villain characters such as 'The Glory', and I studied a lot.

'Black Spirit' is a movie that combines various occult horror elements from around the world, including shamanism and gut representing Korean occult culture, and Western occult elements such as curse and Indian folk shamanism culture. Director Kim, who was in charge of directing, said "Since various horror films were released this summer and it was an OTT viewing environment, we tried to create colors that did not exist before. It could also be a new attempt for a foreign actor to play the main character in a Korean movie," he said, asking the audience to look forward to it.
