In the highly anticipated film ‘Sad Movie’ (produced by iFilm), which has attracted a lot of attention with its star-studded cast, following Jung Woo-sung, Lim Soo-jung, Cha Tae-hyun, Son Tae-young, Shin Min-ah, and Lee Ki-woo, the rookie actor who will join Yum Jung-ah in portraying a poignant moment of parting has been chosen, and the filming is currently in full swing.

The lucky individual who will be starring alongside the top stars of Korea in ‘Sad Movie’ is a newcomer child actor named Yeo Jin-goo, who is currently in the second grade at Guam Elementary School. Despite having no prior acting experience, this young actor received the director’s full support with comments like “untainted innocence and mischievous image” during an audition he participated in by chance. Breaking through an astonishing competition rate of 150:1 and three rounds of auditions, he proudly joined the cast as the lead.

Yeo Jin-goo’s role is Yum Jung-ah’s second-grade elementary school son, ‘Park Hwi-chan’, who gives his busy mother a hard time with his mischievous lies in his diary, but deep down, he’s a child who only thinks of his mother.

‘Sad Movie’, which captures various sad but beautiful separations people encounter in life, has completed about 90% of the filming and is scheduled to meet the audience in breezy October. ▣
