Actress Kwon So-hyun is making active strides across all genres.

Kwon So-hyun is currently starring in the theater production 'Jeonghui', which opened last month. 'Jeonghui', Kwon's first foray into theater since her debut, is a spin-off of the popular drama 'My Mister'. The story is told from the perspective of Jeonghui, the protagonist who runs an old bar named Jeonghui's in Seocho-dong, Seoul.

Playing both Ji-an and the young Jeonghui, Kwon So-hyun captured the character's shifting emotions with delicate expressions and explosive tears, ensuring the play's immersive quality. Despite being her theater debut, she skillfully portrayed the diverse facets of two characters in a dual role, captivating audiences with the unique, vibrant energy characteristic of live theater.

She returned to the big screen for the first time in a while with the film 'Dawn Tango', released this month. Released on the 22nd, 'Dawn Tango' follows Ji-won (played by Lee Yeon), who has been bearing the weight of responsibility left behind by trust alone, as she moves toward a relationship-centered life by following the clumsy Tango steps offered by her roommate Ju-hee. Kwon So-hyun plays Ju-hee, the protagonist who seeks to connect relationships through the power of positivity. A key highlight of the character is her ability to soothe inner wounds in her own way, appearing cheerful on the surface while navigating a bleak reality.

Kwon So-hyun has established herself as 'the actress loved by film festivals' as her works have been invited to numerous festivals. Following the invitation of her lead film 'Manhole' to the '26th Jeonju International Film Festival', 'Dawn Tango' has been recognized for its artistic merit at prestigious domestic and international festivals, including the '29th Busan International Film Festival' and the '9th Berlin Korean Independent Film Festival'.

Although the genres differ, Kwon So-hyun is receiving praise from within and outside the industry for delivering weighty, impactful roles in each of her works.

According to her agency, Cube Entertainment, Kwon So-hyun has been actively active through theater and film in the first half of this year and will meet viewers with the drama 'Empathy Cells' in the second half.
