Jeon In-wha: Back on the Big Screen at 42

The 30s are usually an actress' heyday, but what about the 40s? At 42, Jeon In-hwa is still graceful and elegant, but her comeback after a five-year absence may only be temporary.

At the premiere of a short film entitled "Aega" ("Love Song") at Megabox Sinchon recently, Jeon appeared alongside the young actor Lee Dong-gun and actress Lee Yu-ri. The 30-minute film about a love triangle involving Jeon's part, her loving younger sister and her sister's boyfriend, Jeon is on top form. It was a friend who persuaded her to appear in the movie.

The film is a kind of extended music video for the singer Position, who also returned to work after long absence, just like Jeon. She says she decided to appear in it because it is directed by top commercial film and music video producer Cha Eun-taek.

"Long time no see", she said. "It's been five years. Now I've returned to the screen, it feels good but strange. I heard Position's album, and every song was good. It seemed attractive to take part in making the music video for a talented singer. Thanks to director, this is a very well made film". In the film, she is an attractive doctor who introduces her sister Lee Yu-ri to fellow doctor Lee Dong-gun. But Lee has a crush on her, and when the three of them realize it, the story ends in tears.
