Actress Lee Young-ae shared photos of Kim Hye-ja on social media, showing the veteran actress smiling after Lee viewed her latest film, "Still Shining."
The latest status of actress Kim Hye-ja has been revealed through Lee Young-ae's social media. On the 20th, Lee posted a photo of herself sitting side-by-side with Kim Hye-ja, holding hands and smiling. In a separate photo, Kim Hye-ja was captured holding a microphone in front of an audience.
After watching the film "Still Shining" starring Kim Hye-ja, Lee Young-ae wrote, "It is so achingly painful, but I pray that it shines still brilliantly, and shines brilliantly forever." She added, "I highly recommend it this autumn. Thank you for making such a warm movie."
According to media reports, concerns regarding Kim Hye-ja's health arose after she was captured coughing and staggering while being supported at the Busan International Film Festival red carpet event on the 6th. The stage greeting for the press premiere of "Still Shining," which was scheduled for the 15th, was also canceled on that day. Director Song Il-gon released a handwritten letter expressing apologies, stating that Kim Hye-ja was unable to attend because she was not feeling well due to cold symptoms.
Film industry officials cautioned against excessive speculation, explaining that the issues were merely simple cold symptoms. While voices of concern for the health of the 85-year-old Kim Hye-ja continued, she was seen smiling in the released photos.
"Still Shining" tells the story of Sun-ok, who reunites with a best friend with whom she shared the brightest moments of her life after 60 years. The film is set to be released on the 21st.
