Actress Kim Hye-yoon returned to the screen after four years with "Salmokji" (director Lee Sang-min). I brought up another face through understated acting and new genre challenges.

A horror film that takes place when an unidentified figure is taken in the road view of "Salmokji" and the filming team headed to the reservoir for a re-shot faces something in the dark and deep water. In this work, Kim Hye-yoon plays PD Su-in, who leads the filming team to a murderous place with bizarre rumors. It is the first screen return in four years since "I agree" (2022).

Kim Hye-yoon said about her appearance in "Salmokji," "I've always liked horror movies, so I thought I'd like to shoot them someday, but it's so nice to meet interesting scenarios and works. I was so happy while filming," he said.

"Salmokji" is a work completed by adding the imagination of director Lee Sang-min against the backdrop of a place that heated up broadcasting and horror channels, including "Late Night Ghost Story."

Kim Hye-yoon also said she watched "Late Night Ghost Story," adding, "I remember being scared after watching it. I was so happy to be able to shoot a movie with the location and subject matter in the scene, he said. "The scenario was so fun, and I thought the subject of water ghost was novel. "I was interested in the subject matter that kept being possessed, dragged, and endless," he said.

Kim Hye-yoon's "Su-in" does not express much emotion and mainly acts with "eye." He said, "I felt a lot refined. In addition to the character Su-in, there were many parts that had to be expressed only by facial expressions and eyes, but the director looked at the monitor, gave advice, and gave a lot of direction that he thought he would act like this in such a situation, so Su-in could be born. It helped me a lot when I acted," he explained.

"I don't have a scene where I scream like the heroine of a horror movie, but I think that's right with the character," he said. "I tried to focus on that part because it's a role that needs to be controlled. I'm not the type to be satisfied with my acting, but after watching the movie, I thought it was well melted into Su-in," he said.

Kim Hye-yoon, who also challenged the underwater shooting, said, "I was not afraid of training because I usually like water. However, "Salmokji" was scary when I went into the actual shooting because the set was dark and the props were scary, he confessed.

"Lee Jong-won was so good at underwater filming that I tried to overcome my fear," he said with a smile. "It was a relief that I didn't have as much content as you did."

As for her chemistry with Lee Jong-won, Kim Hye-yoon said, "I think I was able to film it easily because my brother made it as comfortable as I knew him. I had a lot of conversations thinking about how to express my ex-girlfriend chemistry. The director set it in the direction of tone and ticking, so we filmed it while discussing a lot. He expressed his gratitude, saying, "My brother took care of me so well."

Kim Hye-yoon, who leads the play as the lead in Salmokji, said, "From the position of the lead, I think I feel pressure in all works. I feel burdened because I have to be at the center of the story, he said. "In 'Salmokji', many actors supported and helped me on the spot. Everyone acted in it with that character, so I was able to immerse myself more," he said.

In particular, when it was mentioned at the interview site that the first broadcast date of Kim Hye-yoon's flagship drama "Lovely Runner" (2024) and the release date of "Salmokji" were the same, he smiled broadly, saying, "I hope I get good energy." He then carefully said about Byun Woo-seok, who is about to air MBC's "21st Century Grand Prince Lady" at the same time, "I hope we can cheer each other up."

For Kim Hye-yoon, "Lovely Runner" means more than just one work. He said, "Sometimes when I go abroad because of my schedule, many people come and welcome me. At that time, he said, "I feel like I'm receiving a lot of love."

He continued, "Actually, I feel that I grow every time I do a work. Rather than changing significantly before and after the "Lovely Runner," I feel like I have grown further, he said. "I have a great heart to repay the great love I received from the "Lovely Runner" with acting."

Kim Hye-yoon will continue her active activities this year, from the release of the drama "I'm Human from Today" and the movie "Salmokji", to the movie "Land", the drama "Good Partner 2", and the entertainment show "My Sister's Mountain Direct Song in Calape".

He expressed his affection that the driving force of "Working Hard" is the fans, and said, "I always want to greet you with new works. The character I'm going to show you in the future is very different from the role I've played so far, but I hope you do well."

In particular, he said he was honored to appear in season 2 of the much-loved "Good Partner." Kim Hye-yoon said, "I'm looking forward to it and I'm nervous because I think I can show you a new acting," adding, "The same goes for 'my sister's direct delivery to the mountain." Since it's all good works and it's an entertainment show, I think I shouldn't cause any damage. I just want to work hard," he added.
