Lee Yeon Hee breaks a competition of 500 to 1 to get picked as the counterpart to Jo In Sung in a film

Lee Yeon Hee came through a competition of 500 to 1 to be selected as the counterpart to Jo In Sung in a film Kwonbup, or martial arts of the fist in Korean.

The film is a science fiction and fantasy which has long been prepared by proven director Park Gwang Hyeon who directed Welcome to Dongmakgol, one of the most favored films in Korea. Set in the future, it features a high school boy called Kwonbup, played by Jo In Sung, who acts out of righteous indignation and happens to meet Ray, played by Lee Yeon Hee, to develop a romantic relationship. They struggle to protect a deserted village.

Lee says, “Just the thought of playing in a film again makes my heart pleasant and flutter. I’m doing my best to transform myself into the new character in Kwonbup. Please keep your interest and support.”

The shooting will begin in earnest in October.
