Actress Jeon Ji-hyun revealed the reason for her role in the film 'COLONY.'
On the 8th, a video titled 'COLONY Team Rides the Yenny Universe and Wagle' was released on the YouTube channel 'Channel 15 Night.'
In the released video, Jeon Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hye-bin, Kim Shin-rok, and director Yeon Sang-ho appeared, showcasing their wit.
Regarding 'COLONY,' Jeon Ji-hyun expressed her affection: "I felt our film would do well on set from the very first day of shooting, when we filmed a scene with zombies. I thought the script was fun when I read it, but as we started shooting and immediately got to the core of the story, I realized how fast-paced it is. I thought, 'This is really great.'"

Additionally, Jeon Ji-hyun noted that this marks her first film appearance in 11 years since 'Assassination,' saying, "I never thought so many years would pass like this."
When asked about her reason for joining 'COLONY,' Jeon Ji-hyun said, "As soon as I received the script, the first thing I told the director was, 'Ah, this is how a film script should be.' Do you remember?" Director Yeon Sang-ho responded, "I was quite nervous. I was surprised to meet you for the first time. I even felt embarrassed about myself. Being together was an unbearable moment," eliciting laughter.
Jeon Ji-hyun continued, "I felt the director told only the story he wanted to tell, concisely and without any unnecessary details. I wanted to be in a film I wanted to see, and it felt like it had all those elements. I had already made up my mind when I received director Yeon Sang-ho's script. I've been a huge fan of his and always wanted to work with him. I was determined to say yes, and after reading the script, I found it even better."
She added, "Actors like me often have familiar images, and while we have familiar colors, working with directors like him offers a great opportunity to naturally take on new colors. That's why I really wanted to work with him."
