Moon Geun Young Returns for Yeon Sang Ho's 'Yeto'

Actress Moon Geun-young will make her comeback by starring in director Yeon Sang-ho's new film 'Yeto' (tentative title). 'Yeto' is director Yeon Sang-ho's new film, and the distribution will be handled by Showbox, who also worked with him on 'The Roundup'.

Moon Geun-young and director Yeon Sang-ho previously collaborated on the Netflix series 'Hellbound' Season 2. At the time, Moon Geun-young made a special appearance as the cult follower Oh Ji-won, receiving praise for her transformative role and passionate performance. Director Yeon Sang-ho commented on Moon Geun-young at the time, saying, "I felt like something was solidifying internally," and "I hoped that the actress Moon Geun-young would be revived."

Moon Geun-young experienced acute compartment syndrome and underwent a long recovery period. At the 'Hellbound 2' production presentation, she revealed through social media that her health had fully recovered and she is currently in good health. Recently, she shared an update showing a remarkably slimmer appearance, announcing her successful weight loss.

Moon Geun-young is currently appearing in the play 'Orphans,' and this film marks her return to the big screen after approximately nine years since 'Glass Garden' in 2017. Expectations are high for what new aspects Moon Geun-young will show in her second collaboration with director Yeon Sang-ho after a long hiatus.

Meanwhile, director Yeon Sang-ho's film 'The Roundup,' released on the 21st, has been invited to the Cannes International Film Festival and is performing well, ranking first in domestic box office pre-sales. Director Yeon plans to continue his active work with his next projects, 'Paradise' and 'Yeto,' following 'The Roundup.'
