'Killing Romance' confirmed to be released 'Sweet acting' Lee Ha-nui decides to retire

The movie ‘Killing Romance’ (directed by Lee Won-seok) has confirmed its release on April 14th.

On the 14th, distributor Lotte Entertainment announced, "'Killing Romance' has confirmed its release on April 14th." In addition, an official press still was released.

'Killing Romance' is about top star Yeorae (played by Lee Ha-nui), who suddenly announces her retirement after falling in love with island tycoon Jonathan (played by Lee Seon-gyun), and meets Beom-woo (played by Gong Myeong), a student from the 3rd fan club, and plots an extraordinary comeback plan. It's a story.

As the title suggests, 'Killing Romance' removes any romantic spirit and presents a movie full of laughter and tension. In the released press stills, you can see visuals of Lee Ha-nui, Lee Sun-kyun, and Gong Myung that have never been seen before.

The role of Yeorae, played by Lee Ha-nui, is a person who was popular as a top star but decided to retire after becoming a subject of national ridicule due to her bad acting. Jonathan, played by Lee Sun-kyun, is a tycoon who lends a helping hand to Tathagata, who has entered Kuala Island in the South Pacific while avoiding public attention. Lee Ha-nui's gorgeous visuals, reminiscent of a Disney princess, and Lee Sun-gyun's charismatic visuals, who can easily slap the face of an Arab prince, stand out.

In addition, Gong Myung plays the role of Beom-woo, a member of the top star Yeorae's 3rd fan club and a student who is fighting a lonely battle for entrance exams because he cannot overcome the family tradition of insisting on only S University. In particular, Honey Lee and Gong Myung, who worked together as seniors and juniors in the drug squad in 'Extreme Job', are expected to show off their unique chemistry as actors and close fans. Lee Sun-gyun also played a great role with Lee Ha-nui in the drama 'Pasta', and the chemistry between the two who met again after 13 years is raising expectations.

'Killing Romance' is a fresh work that has never been seen before, and is a film that stands out for its diverse space-time fantasy and fresh and ingenious script and direction. Director Lee Won-seok of 'Men's Manual' and writer Park Jeong-ye of 'Beauty Inside' collaborated.
