Lee Ha-nui also makes a surprise comeback with ‘Killing Romance’

Actress Lee Ha-nui was also surprised by the reversal in ratings for the movie ‘Killing Romance’ (directed by Lee Won-seok).

On the 23rd, Lee Ha-nui posted several photos with the caption, “#KillingRomance A grateful stage greeting with loved ones.” He added, "It's a strange experience where an egg goes from being fried to becoming an egg again. The rating has gone up by 2 points in a week. It's thanks to the audience! Everyone, please come see Kilo (Killing Romance)."

The released photo shows Lee Ha-nui, director Lee Won-seok, Lee Sun-gyun, Bae Yu-ram, and Oh Jeong-se. The 'Killing Romance' team met the audience directly through stage greetings last weekend. In particular, Oh Jeong-se, who made a special appearance in 'Killing Romance', also attracted attention.

According to distributor Lotte Entertainment, 'Killing Romance' is running counter to the multiplex CGV Golden Egg Index, which is called a barometer of audience indicators. As soon as 'Killing Romance' was released on April 14, it received low scores from audiences who were a little surprised by the movie's identity, and started with 61% on the CGV Golden Egg Index. As of the morning of the 24th, the egg index of 'Killing Romance' is recording 75%.

Meanwhile, 'Killing Romance' (directed by Lee Won-seok) is about top star Yeorae (played by Lee Ha-nui), who fell in fateful love with island tycoon Jonathan (played by Lee Seon-kyun) and suddenly announced her retirement, and makes an extraordinary comeback when she meets Beom-woo (played by Gong Myeong), a student from the 3rd fan club. The story of a planned operation is being screened to rave reviews in theaters across the country.
