They paid respects on the 9th in the building of their company NOA Entertainment. "Silenced", which is based on the novel by writer Gong Ji-young is about a teacher who gets appointed to a school for the deaf and a human rights activist as they unveil the violence and tragedies happening in the school to the world motivated by a sexual violence case that happened in the school.

This was a real story written in 2009 and got attention enough to have its own commission of investigation set up.

This day not only Gong Yoo and Jung Yu-mi were there but the writer herself and other staff prayed for the best of the movie. Writer Gong Ji-young conveyed, "It hurt a lot while writing this novel but I felt it worth the while when I saw how much more lightened the victims looked after the publishing of the book".

Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, "Silenced" will be released in the later half of the year.
