Hoyeon Turns Na Hong-jin’s Hope Into a Sci‑Fi Action Spotlight
Hoyeon delivers a breakout, action-packed turn as rookie officer Sung-ae in Na Hong-jin’s sci‑fi thriller Hope, turning Cannes buzz into strong word‑of‑mouth success with daytime creature-set pieces and sharp gunplay. She prepared by studying Alien and Dr. Akagi, contributing to Hope’s high production scale and its status as the widest U.S. release for a Korean film since Parasite and its roughly €30 million budget.
