Actress Yeom Hye-ran from South Korea has raised concerns regarding the perception of sensitive historical incidents among the audience as she gears up for the release of her upcoming movie.

In an interview ahead of the release of her new movie titled "My Name," Yeom talked about her feelings regarding her part in a movie based on a sensitive period in the history of Korea known as the Jeju 4.3 Incident.

According to SPOTV News, Yeom met with reporters in Seoul on April 14, where she shared her reflections on taking part in the project directed by Jung Ji-young.

The actress explained her initial hesitation when reviewing the script. "On one hand, it was a project that I was a bit cautious about. From the moment I saw the script, it was important to me whether it was cinematically interesting. I came to want to do it because it doesn't start by being weighed down by past pain, but rather possesses a sense of everyday life."

She also described the director's vision for the film and the complexity of the subject matter.

"The director told me that he wanted this work to be a mainstream film watched by many people, rather than an independent film that reveals auteurism. In that sense, I was curious about how he would approach it and was cautious about what kind of work it would be. I heard that this is a story that is difficult for Jeju people to create on their own. Every other house was a perpetrator, and every other house was a family. He said that this is a sharp and sensitive issue for the people of Jeju."

Yeom further elaborated on her role as an actress interpreting, rather than creating, such narratives. "I am not someone who creates stories, but someone who embodies them and expresses them through the body. As a result, I was cautious, wondering, 'Could my acting be tainted with political colors? Could it be that I am consumed in that way, even if not outright exploitation?'"

She emphasized the collaborative nature of her work with the director during production. "Director Jung Ji-young asked for my opinion a lot while working on the project. Our styles may differ, and we shared many emotional stories."

Additional coverage from Naver highlighted the film's narrative focus on a mother and son navigating identity and memory. The story follows Young-ok, played by Shin Woo-bin, an 18-year-old struggling with his name, and his mother Jung-soon, portrayed by Yeom, who seeks to recover memories lost during the 1949 tragedy.

The film is scheduled for release on April 15 and is expected to spark discussion due to its handling of a deeply sensitive historical subject.
