Actress Hwang Jung-eum has stepped back into the spotlight, marking her first official appearance since her divorce announcement from ex-husband Lee Young-don. The occasion was the production presentation for the highly anticipated Friday-Saturday drama ‘Resurrection of the Seven’, which took place at the SBS broadcasting station in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul.
The event saw the gathering of esteemed personalities including director Oh Jun-hyuk, along with actors Eom Ki-jun, Lee Yoo-bi, Shin Eun-kyung, Yoon Jong-hoon, Jo Yoon-hee, and Lee Jung-shin. Notably absent was Yoon Tae-young, who couldn’t make it due to scheduling conflicts. Written by Kim Soon-ok, renowned for hits like ‘The Last Empress’ and ‘Penthouse’, ‘Resurrection of the Seven’ serves as the sequel to ‘Escape of the Seven’, promising a riveting narrative of vengeance and redemption.
Despite the personal turmoil surrounding her divorce, Hwang Jung-eum expressed her dedication to her craft, emphasizing the separation between her professional and personal life. “Acting is acting, and personal matters are personal matters,” she stated firmly. “No matter what happens, we actors have to put that aside and focus on our job.”
