After actor Lee Sun-kyun was found dead on December 27th, the entertainment industry was confused and saddened by the sudden sad news. The public’s concern for “Project Silence” and “The Land of Happiness,” unreleased works of the deceased, is also rising.
“Project Silence” is a film invited in the midnight screening category at this year’s Cannes International Film Festival. Lee Sun-kyun was on the red carpet with his family for this film. With an investment of 18 billion won in production costs, it was scheduled to be released at the end of this year or early next year. However, the release was postponed indefinitely due to the drug allegations of the lead actor, Lee Sun-kyun. Meanwhile, “The Land of Happiness” has finished the filming process and was also postponed indefinitely due to Lee Sun-kyun’s drug issue. With the passing of Lee Sun-kyun, the release of the two works became more uncertain.
In addition, a movie of Jeon Hye-jin, Lee Sun-kyun’s wife, has also postponed its release. An official from the movie “Mission Cross” told SpoTV News that the release of the movie, which was scheduled to be in February next year, has been postponed.
“Mission Cross” is an action film about a former agent “Kang Moo,” who lives as a veteran house-husband while hiding his past from his wife, “Mi-seon,” the ace of the police’s violent crime unit who misunderstood her husband’s secret.
Hwang Jung-min and Yeom Jung-ah play the lead roles while Jeon Hye-jin and Jung Man-sik play important supporting roles in the movie. It was announced that the movie would be released in February 2024, during the Lunar New Year season. Its trailer and poster was also unveiled, but the production team suddenly decided to withdraw the release.
Although the specific reason for the delay in the release was not disclosed, it is predicted that the sudden death of actress Jeon Hye-jin’s husband affected her.
