On the 22nd, Yoon Hye-jin shared a quote, "I cannot choose what happens to me, but I can choose how I react to it. The last of human freedoms is to choose one's attitude." This is interpreted by the industry as her indirect response to the public's perception of her husband Uhm Tae-woong's return.
Previously, on the 21st, Yoon Hye-jin expressed her feelings by announcing that "I Kill You," starring her husband Uhm Tae-woong, has been officially invited to the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival. She shared, "The times we endured silently, wondering if such a day would ever come. But finally, this miraculous moment has arrived." She also noted that the film's GV (Guest Visit) is scheduled for July 9th, which is her late mother's birthday, adding, "Perhaps my mom is watching over us."
Uhm Tae-woong's comeback project is "I Kill You," directed by Yoo Ha, marking his first drama direction. The film version will premiere at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN) in July. Known for his intense filmography with works like "A Frozen Flower" (2008) and "Gangnam Blues" (2015), Yoo Ha's "I Kill You" is a thriller centered around revenge, truth, and media manipulation.
In the drama, Uhm Tae-woong plays the role of 'Director Yoon,' the shadow and cold-hearted power behind a conglomerate chairman. Through this character, he is set to showcase his silent charisma once again. The project completed filming in 2023 and will first be presented to audiences as a film.
Uhm Tae-woong married Yoon Hye-jin in 2013, and they have one daughter. In 2016, he was accused of sexual assault, but it was revealed to be a false accusation orchestrated by the establishment owner and a female employee. He was cleared of the sexual assault charges but was fined 1 million won for solicitation.
