Director Jung Ji-young and actress Yum Hye-ran, leads of the film ‘My Name Is’ opening today (the 15th), revealed their aura in a fashion magazine photo spread.

In the spread released to coincide with the film opening on the 15th, the two presented a sensuous look. Yum Hye-ran, wearing a trench coat, evoked a wistful atmosphere as if deep in contemplation, while Director Jung Ji-young, in his trademark sunglasses and a tidy suit, radiates charisma.

In particular, their two-shot photo rendered in a black-and-white mood captivated the eye, achieving a subtle yet grand harmony that transcends generations.

Set in Jeju in 1998, the film is a mystery drama in which the trajectories of an 18-year-old son, Young-ok (Shin Woo-bin), who wants to change his rustic name, and a mother, Jung-sun (Yum Hye-ran), who comes face to face with memories of Jeju in 1949, intersect.

The interview that follows the spread captures the sharp perspective of Director Jung Ji-young and leaves a profound account from Yum Hye-ran, who plays Jung-sun and sets out once again to update a career-defining work.

Invited to the Forum section of the 76th Berlin International Film Festival and the main competition of the 28th Udine Far East Film Festival, ‘My Name Is’ raised its production budget through support on ‘Tumblbug’ from more than ten thousand citizens. With its opening on the 15th, a viewing by President Lee Jae Myung is also scheduled, adding to the buzz.

The film ‘My Name Is’ can be seen in theaters starting today (the 15th).
