As actress Lee Min-jung returns to the screen after 11 years, her unique 'how to use her husband Lee Byung-hun' is attracting attention.

The movie 'Screen' (directed by Ma Dae-yoon), which was released on the 4th, tells the story of Park Kang (Kwon Sang-woo), a top star who was enjoying a glamorous single life, a top star who was ranked 0 in the cast and a self-proclaimed scandal maker, when his life changes 180 degrees on Christmas. This is a story that happens.

Lee Min-jung returned to the screen through 'Switch' 11 years after appearing in the movie 'Wonderful Radio' (directed by Kwon Chil-in). The role of Soo-hyeon, played by Lee Min-jung, is Park Kang's first love, with whom he broke up 10 years ago. Although she is a notable artist, she boldly gave up studying in the United States and married Park Kang solely for the sake of love.

Lee Min-jung, who played the lovely and charming Su-hyeon, attracted attention with her natural acting as she was actually the wife of a husband and the mother of a child. The acting of her husband, Park Kang, and her twin siblings, Rohee (played by Park Soi) and Roha (played by Kim Jun), harmonized without a sense of discomfort, creating highly realistic scenes.

In particular, Lee Min-jung played a big role in developing the line in 'Switch' that mentions her husband Lee Byung-hun's real name. In a scene in the play, when Jo Yoon (played by Oh Jeong-se) was conveying the casting to Park Kang, there was a line that said, "Lee Byung-hun made a deal," and he deepened it by saying, "Lee Byung-hun is cheap these days." Actor Oh Jeong-se, who had to say that line, was inevitably worried about Lee Byung-hun's reaction.

Lee Min-jeong conveyed Oh Jeong-se's cautious intentions. Byung-Hun Lee readily agreed. Lee Min-jung smiled as she said, "I told my husband about it, and he really liked it. In fact, he liked it even more because it was a joke that couldn't be told if something was at stake, and he said that if it was fun and lived well, of course it was okay to do it." This is Lee Min-jeong's clever 'way of using her husband'.

Lee Byung-hun does not spare any support for Lee Min-jung, who is making a big screen comeback after 11 years, and draws attention by cheering for Lee Min-jung, saying, "It will be fun," in response to a line dissing him. As Lee Min-jung said, it was possible because she was a top actor in the best position.

In particular, Lee Min-jung showed her extraordinary affection for movies when she made her big screen comeback with 'Switch'. He said, "As a person who loves movies, I want to try many characters. This character resembles me, so I can play it comfortably." He added, "I want to try a lot of strong things. Thriller and horror are also good. Movies are good for me." “I feel like I haven’t even seen a single part of the Taebaek Mountains yet, so I want to try out different characters,” he said.
