On January 5th, Sidus HQ announced that young actress KIM You-jung is in the last stages of confirming for her newest film Joy (working title), while SUNG Dong-il is also looking into taking on a main role. SUNG will play the father, while KIM will play the daughter in the film, a warm and comical story about a family. Newcomers PARK Eun-kyeong and LEE Dong-ha will direct the film.

KIM You-jung started her career in a supporting role for PARK Chan-wook’s Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (2005). She continued to build her experience through TV drama series as well as films like The Chaser (2008) and Commitment (2013), slowly landing larger roles until she became a lead in Thread of Lies.
