Byun Shin Hye Sun And Yo Han Explore Darkness In New Thriller ‘Following’

On April 29, CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall in Seoul hosted the media screening of the anticipated thriller “Following”.

Famous actors Byun Yo-han and Shin Hye-sun attended the Kim Se-hwi-directed event.

“Following” stars Byun Yo-han as Gu Jeong-tae, a real estate agent who likes to spy. It opens on May 15. Gu sees Shin Hye-sun’s SNS influencer Han So-ra die, thickening the storyline. The film follows Gu as he investigates her unusual death to exonerate himself of murder.

Byun Yo-han described Jeong-tae as unlikable and exploiting his work to gratify his curiosity by invading people’s privacy at the press event. Byun thinks the film makes viewers detest Jeong-tae more. He revealed how he played the part as normal despite his bad behavior, which caused him to downplay his performance.

Shin Hye-sun called Han So-ra unpleasant and hard to relate with. She described the difficulties of playing a distinct, morally ambiguous persona.

Director Kim Se-hwi acknowledged the risk of concentrating the plot around such unusual people. He thinks the film would make audiences think about social media’s negative impacts, such as attention-seeking and voyeurism, while distance them from the characters’ extremes.

The upcoming film “Following” will explore the darker side of human curiosity and how social media affects personal boundaries.
