Veteran actress Yoon Jung-hee, who made a comeback through the critically acclaimed film "Poetry", has appeared on a popular TV program hosted by Kang Ho-dong which is due to air soon, said the movie's promoter Monday.

The 65-year-old returned to the big screen after a 15-year hiatus in the Lee Chang-dong film, which recently won the Best Screenplay award at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival.

During the recording of the comedian's talk show "Golden Fish-Mureuppak Guru", she spoke about her career as a screen star, having appeared in over 300 movies and TV soaps in the 1960s before marrying the pianist Paik Kun-woo. She shared some of her experiences on the set of "Poetry", and also dished out anecdotes about her romance with Paik, which had been considered something of a modern-day fairytale here but details of which were undisclosed to the media.

The episode is due to air at the end of the month. Previous guests on the show include figure skating champion Kim Yu-na and pop star Rain.
