Director Yeon Sang-ho's new film "Collective" has released a still from Kwon Se-jeong's character played by actor Jeon Ji-hyun.

Inside a building blocked by an unidentified infection, the movie "Colony," which depicts the struggle of isolated survivors against the evolving infected in an unpredictable form, unveiled a still from Kwon Se-jeong, a biotechnology and survivor leader, on the 25th.

From "The Thieves," who showed their presence with their slick charm and unique character digestibility, to "Berlin," who showed dense performance by expressing well-restrained emotions, "Absolute," who completed the narrative of female independence characters with deft action performances, "My Love from the Star," which caused a syndrome with passion between fantasy and romance, "The Legend of the Blue Sea," and "Kingdom: Asinjeon," who revealed a new face by dragging the narrative with condensed emotions and intense eyes, Jeon Ji-hyun, who has shown irreplaceable performances across genres, will once again capture the audience with "The Colony."

The released still draws attention with Kwon Se-jeong, who is in various situations, from the appearance of moving forward with a determined expression to the moment of watching the infected closely while hesitating in shock, to the suffocating face-to-face with the infected. Kwon Se-jeong is a person who comes to the Dongwoori Building where the conference will be held at the suggestion of her ex-husband Han Kyu-sung (Ko Soo-jung) to introduce a new job after being eliminated from reappointment as a professor due to her unbearable nature when she sees injustice. As a biotech, he reads the behavior and evolutionary patterns of the unidentified infected and somehow tries to lead the survivors and escape.

On the reason why he chose "The Group" as his first screen return in 11 years after "The Assassination," Jeon Ji-hyun replied, "I was originally a 'true fan' of director Yeon Sang-ho, and above all, the 'Group' scenario was very attractive." In addition, director Yeon Sang-ho said about actor Jeon Ji-hyun, "The momentary immersion was great, and I thought he was also a veteran actor," raising expectations for "The Group", which was born from the first meeting between director Yeon Sang-ho and Jeon Ji-hyun.

Meanwhile, "The Colony" is scheduled to be released in theaters in May 2026.
