"Paran" explores complex family legacies and emotional struggles

Lee Soo Hyuk and Ha Yun Kyung will star in a new mystery film titled "Paran." The film explores the lives of two characters who are deeply affected by their families' pasts. One is the son of a criminal, while the other is the daughter of a victim. Both struggle with their identities and the heavy burdens they carry. In "Paran," Lee Soo Hyuk plays Tae Hwa, a clay target shooter. He is haunted by the fact that he received a lung transplant from his father, who was a criminal. Ha Yun Kyung portrays Mi Ji, a woman who covers her pain with reckless behavior. She faces challenges as the daughter of a victim. The title "Paran" has two meanings. It represents the turmoil and challenges in the characters' lives as well as the idea of overcoming adversity to create a new future. The film's tagline highlights their unexpected friendship and personal growth: "Meeting you... made me want to live." "Paran" was recently shown at the 2023 Jeonju International Film Festival. The film drew significant attention and had a large audience. It is set to be released in theaters this April.
