Actress Jeon So Min is making her comeback to acting after taking a break from 'Running Man.'

Jeon So Min finished filming her new movie 'Veranda' (directed by Jo Sung-won) on July 13. The 'Veranda' team announced, "We started filming on June 10 and wrapped up on July 13 after 21 shooting days."

'Veranda' is a romantic thriller about Hayeon (played by Jeon So Min), who has a happy family but starts to suspect someone is spying on her from a nearby apartment. As things go wrong, she uncovers hidden secrets. The film mixes familiar settings with intense suspense.

Jeon So Min's return with 'Veranda' is special because it's her first acting role in about two years since the 2022 drama 'Cleaning Up' and the movie '2037.' During her break from acting, she appeared in variety shows like tvN's 'Skip' and SBS's 'Running Man' with Yoo Jae Seok.

Last November, she surprised fans by leaving 'Running Man,' where she had been a regular member for seven years. Her agency, King Kong by Starship, said she needed a break to recharge for future acting projects. 'Veranda' marks her fresh start.

In 'Veranda,' Jeon So Min plays Hayeon, who is happy with her husband Woojae (played by Ha Soo Ho) and son but gets shaken by misfortune and suspicion, hinting at a powerful performance.

Ha Soo Ho plays her husband Woojae, and Ji Seung-hyun plays Hyun-woo, a man who finds hope after losing his family and meeting Hayeon.

'Veranda' is also the first film directed by Jo Sung-won, who has worked as an art director and set designer for notable Korean films like 'The Battleship Island,' 'Svaha: The Sixth Finger,' 'Peninsula,' and 'Thirst.' His work promises a visually stunning film.

Director Jo Sung-won said, "We aimed to create a work with unique fun and emotions. All the actors brought great energy and expressed their characters perfectly. Viewers will see new sides of the actors in 'Veranda.' We will continue to do our best in post-production."

'Veranda' is set to be released in theaters in 2025.
