Seo Yea-ji is set to return to the big screen after a five-year hiatus with the Korean vampire horror film Geumwoldo. The movie, announced by B.Wave Entertainment on November 4, will see Yea-ji lead as Kim Ji Hoo, a woman who returns to the secluded island of Geumwoldo after receiving a summons from her mother. Geumwoldo, which draws inspiration from a centuries-old court record of cannibalism, aims to provide a distinctly Korean take on the vampire myth.
Director Baek Dong Hoon, known for the food drama Le Grand Chef 2: Kimchi Battle, takes on this new genre. Geumwoldo marks a departure for both Yea-ji and the director, as the latter is venturing into occult horror, while the former has primarily worked in mystery and thriller genres. Camera work is expected to commence in mid-November, with the film slated for a 2027 theatrical release.
