Actress Lee Chae-young is embarking on a new challenge as a film director.

According to her agency, Peace Challenge Group, on the 24th, the film 'Bunker,' which Lee Chae-young wrote and directed, has been officially invited to the Japan World Film Festival (JAPAN WORLD FILM FESTIVAL, hereinafter JWFF).

The JWFF will be held on October 24 and 25 in Nakagawa, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. Lee Chae-young will meet overseas film festival audiences with her first work, which she wrote and directed based on the field experience she accumulated over a long period as an actress.

Lee Chae-young debuted in the 2007 drama 'Witch's Play' and has been active as an actress across films and dramas. At one time, she was referred to as one of the 'Three Great Sexy Beauties Born in 1986,' alongside fellow actresses Clara and Lee Tae-im. This time, rather than as a performer, she expanded her realm as a creator and directly realized her own story on the screen.

'Bunker' is a psychological thriller depicting the collision of human desires and nature in a confined space. Lee Chae-young presented her unique directorial world by expressing the inner human psyche revealed under extreme circumstances with twists and tension.

Lee Chae-young said, "Although it is set in an extreme situation, this work ultimately looks into the inner self and nature that everyone possesses," adding, "I hope audiences can experience not only a heavy film but also unexpected twists along with entertainment."

Following her directorial debut, Lee Chae-young is also accelerating preparations for her next project. She is currently writing screenplays for 'Gap-soon-i,' 'The Woman Living in the Lighthouse,' and 'Young-a,' and plans to expand her activities as a director.

She will continue her activities as an actress. Lee Chae-young appears in the film 'Purgatory: The Autonomous Zone of Murderers,' scheduled for release on September 9. She plays the role of Hwa-seon in the film. A press screening is scheduled to take place on the 28th at Seoul CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall.
