28년의 시간을 관통하는 우정, 그리고 배우 공효진의 새로운 도약 > 뉴스

The phrase ‘1998-’ that Gong Hyo-jin and Shin Min-ah revealed on Instagram clearly points to the starting point of their relationship. From their teenage years to the present, the two have maintained a close relationship by staying by each other's side while growing into top actors in their respective fields. In particular, the two people in the photo released this time are full of comfort and affection as they put aside their jobs as actors under the bright lights and look at each other as just old friends. The atmosphere of the two people, which was further emphasized through a device called a black and white filter, leaves a deep and profound lingering feeling like wine that has been aged for a long time, giving fans an impression that goes beyond simple selfies.

The reason this friendship certification feels even more special is because of the public influence the two have and their current position. Their friendship, which remains constant even in their lives with their respective spouses, presents to many people the ideal of ‘continuity of relationships’. In particular, the 'four cuts of life' that the MZ generation enjoys and the method of taking photos using props show that the two people share a youthful sense beyond 28 years. Rather than simply being buried in past memories, the fact that they enjoy current trends together and build new memories is the clearest evidence that their relationship is still ongoing.

Meanwhile, Gong Hyo-jin is going beyond this personal happiness and is facing a new inflection point as an actress. The news that he will return to his hometown MBC after 15 years through MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Married Woman Killer' is causing yet another interest among fans. In this work, she plays an intense character called ‘Yoo Bona’, who appears to be an ordinary working mother but is actually a secret sniper who punishes criminals. This project, a collaboration between director Yoon Jong-ho, who directed the drama 'Seonjae and Jump', and writer Kim Eun-hee, who wrote 'Ghost Doctor', is expected to be a new challenge in Gong Hyo-jin's acting career.

'Married Woman Killer' will not simply remain in the action genre, but will sharply project the lives of modern women struggling within the realistic constraints of work and family. The addition of actors with solid acting skills, such as Sung Dong-il, Lee Sang-i, and Jeong Jun-won, adds weight to the play and stimulates curiosity about the three-dimensional character that Gong Hyo-jin will portray. Gong Hyo-jin's move to meet the public again on the MBC platform after a long gap of 15 years will be a stage to prove that her potential as an actress is still intact. These two axes, fulfillment in the private sphere of friendship and challenge in the public sphere of acting, make actress Gong Hyo-jin shine even more.
