According to Allkpop, the quartet "Tae-Hye- Ji-Son" - 4 actresses over 40 years old Kim Tae Hee, Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun and Son Ye Jin, once known as the "beauty wardens" leading the Hallyu wave of Korean cinema - are ready to return with new film projects.
In early August, Kim Tae Hee's appearance at the global premiere of the movie "Butterfly" in New York (USA) attracted attention.
This is a work that marks the return of Kim Tae Hee after 2 years since the movie Lies Hidden in My Garden (2023), and is also the first time Bi Rains wife has participated in a Hollywood film.
Butterfly with 6 episodes has been released on Amazon Prime Video since August 13.
After getting married to Hyun Bin and giving birth to her first son, Son Ye Jin spent 2 years taking care of her small family.
Since the end of last year, the actress has returned to artistic activities, taking on the lead role in the movie No Other Choice by famous director Park Chan Wook, co-starring with actor Lee Byung Hun.
Before its release, this thrilling black comedy will compete at many film festivals such as the 82nd Venice International Film Festival (September 29), the 30th Busan International Film Festival (September 17).
Son Ye Jin's comeback was especially noticed because of the reputation of the director and cast participating in the film.
No Other Choice is expected to be released in September, promising to be an explosive work by the end of 2025, and could even become a new turning point for Son Ye Jin's comeback.
Son Ye Jin is filming the Netflix drama Variety as the female lead.
Meanwhile, Jun Ji Hyun will meet the audience again with Disney+s Tempest, scheduled to premiere globally on September 10. This is a new work by Jun Ji Hyun after 4 years, since the movie "Jirisan" (2021).
This romantic drama about spies soon attracted attention thanks to the combination of two famous stars, Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won, along with a cast of famous supporting actors such as Park Hae Joon, Kim Hae Sook, Oh Jung Se.
In the quartet mentioned, Song Hye Kyo is the most active person in recent years.
After the success of the Netflix drama The Glory in 2023, Song Hye Kyo returned to the movie Dark Nuns in early 2025.
Currently, Song Hye Kyo is filming a major Netflix project "Slowly and Intensely", which is said to have a production budget exceeding 70 billion won. The film revolves around the Korean entertainment industry in the 1960s-1980s.
Not only was it buzzing with the famous cast including Song Hye Kyo, Gong Yoo, Cha Seung Won, Honey Lee and Seolhyun, "Slowly and Intensely" also attracted attention because it was the next work of Noh Hee Kyung - one of the "golden screenwriters" of Korean television, who had collaborated with Song Hye Kyo twice in the films "The World They Are Living" 2008 and "That Winter Wind" (2013).
"Slowly and Intensely" is expected to air in early 2026.
