Actress Choi Yu-ri has become the recipient of the Newcomer Award.

On the 17th, at the 8th Daejeon Special Effects Film Festival, Choi Yu-ri received the Newcomer Award trophy for her role in the film 'Zombie Daughter'.

'Zombie Daughter' is a comedic drama about a father who goes into secret training to protect his daughter, who has become the last zombie remaining in the world. In the film, Choi Yu-ri plays Su-a, a daughter who suddenly turns into a zombie overnight.

Through her role as Su-a, Choi Yu-ri expressed the emotions of a character turned into a zombie using only her gaze, facial expressions, and breathing, without any dialogue. She anchored the story by moving between comedic scenes and emotional ones.

Especially since 'Zombie Daughter' is based on a popular webtoon, casting for the live-action adaptation drew significant attention. Choi Yu-ri received interest from original webtoon fans by showcasing visuals and acting reminiscent of Su-a from the source material.

Choi Yu-ri shared her thoughts: "I am so grateful just to be at such an honorable place, and it truly feels like a dream to receive such a precious award. I would like to express my gratitude on this occasion to all those who created Su-a and helped me transform into Su-a. I also thank all the audiences who loved the film, and I will strive to show you good performances in the future."Ra Neun (수상)_

Meanwhile, Choi Yu-ri is set to visit theaters again with the film 'Assassin(s)', which opens on the 23rd. She plays Choi Seung-hwa, a member of a choir participating in the Liberation Day commemorative ceremony, and is expected to kick off the story and carry the upcoming Chuseok holiday.
