Moon Geun-young to return as film lead after 9 years

SEOUL, August 21 - Actress Moon Geun-young is set to reprise her leading role in a forthcoming film directed by Yeon Sang-ho, after a nine-year hiatus, Showbox announced on Friday. The movie, titled "Yeto," chronicles the journey of influencer sisters Su-a and Min-a, who embark on a camping expedition only to have Min-a vanish at the site of a pseudo-religious group's former establishment.

Su-a, the older sibling, portrays herself alongside her sister in the narrative. Moon Geun-young, who last took on a leading role in the 2017 film "Glass Garden," will reprise her character. Kim Si-a, recognized for her performances in "Miss Baek" (2017) and "Kill Boksoon" (2023), will portray Min-a. Go Ah-sung rounds out the cast as Deok-hee, a mysterious character encountered by the sisters.

Yeon Sang-ho is co-directing "Yeto" alongside Yoon Young-woo, an up-and-coming filmmaker who previously served as an assistant director on Yeon's Netflix series "Parasyte: The Grey" and "Hellbound." The film is currently in post-production following its completion of principal photography.
