PHOTOS: Kim Hyun Joo, Ryu Kyung Soo and Yeon Sang Ho pose at the JUNG_E production event
Netflix's JUNG_E, which is about to be released on January 20th, is Kang Soo Yeon's first futuristic work and posthumous work. It depicts the story of people trying to develop the best combat artificial intelligence (AI) by cloning the brain of the legendary mercenary JUNG_E (played by Kim Hyun Joo) while humankind escaped from a planet devastated by rapid climate change and suffered a long civil war. Kang Soo Yeon takes on the role of Yoon Seo Hyun, the manager of the JUNG_E project. As JUNG_E's only daughter, she seeks to create her ultimate battle AI to restore the honor of her mother, who became a vegetable due to injuries sustained during battle. Director Yeon Sang Ho looked back, "In a way, Senior Kang Soo Yeon planned JUNG_E and became the driving force that brought it to this point. If this story was made into a movie, I thought who would be able to play the role of Yoon Seo Hyun, but I suddenly remembered the name of senior Kang Soo Yeon. From then on, I had a strong desire to make this work into a movie.” In the video about the birth of JUNG_E, which was released at the press conference, Kang Soo Yeon said, "I was impressed by director Yeon Sang Ho's statement that he wanted to make the most Korean-style sci-fi movie."
