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.

Jung Woo Sung is back in the spotlight, making waves in China with his latest move.

According to News1 on April 3, Jung Woo Sung recently visited Beijing alongside Lee Jung Jae as co-founders of Artist Company. The two reportedly met with major entertainment officials, including those from Alibaba Group’s entertainment division, sparking speculation about the potential end of China’s Hallyu ban (Han Han Ryeong).

Industry insiders shared, "Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae appear to have discussed Korea-China joint film productions with key figures in the industry."

Their visit has already become a hot topic in China, with fans quickly spreading sightings of them on Chinese social media platform Weibo. A previous photo of the two visiting a cigar bar with top Chinese actress Zhou Dongyu also resurfaced, drawing even more attention.

This marks Jung Woo Sung’s first public appearance since his ‘out-of-wedlock child’ controversy in November last year.

At the time, he shocked the public by admitting he had a son with model Moon Ga Bi. However, he made it clear that they were not married and stated, "As a father, I will take full responsibility for my child."

Meanwhile, Jung Woo Sung is set to make his acting comeback this year with the Disney+ original series Made in Korea, raising anticipation for his return to the screen.
