As a movie critic, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve learned that Korean acting talents Won Mi Kyung and Kim Eung Soo are set to star in an upcoming independent film titled “Bedford Park”. Having previously captivated audiences in shows like “My Unfamiliar Family”, “Wonderful World” and “Mr. Sunshine”, “When the Stars Gossip”, respectively, these stars are now joining forces with Jefferson White, who’s best known for his role in “Yellowstone”. I can hardly wait to see this dynamic cast come together on screen!

Under the directional debut of writer and editor Stephanie Ahn, filming for “Bedford Park” commenced on April 14, taking place in New Jersey.

The movie, featuring Moon Choi and Sukku Son among its cast, centers on a fateful incident that intertwines the lives of two characters: a Korean-American woman who’s torn between her familial duties and her personal aspirations, and an abandoned former wrestler, who is striving to rectify the mistakes of his shattered past.

As we move forward in assembling an exceptional cast, it’s a fantastic realization to have Won Mi Kyung and Kim Eung Soo join us. It feels like a dream come true for me,” Foster expressed. “I am a big fan of ‘Yellowstone’, and I was overjoyed when the exceptionally talented Jefferson White agreed to be part of our team.

As a movie reviewer, I’m thrilled to share my thoughts on “Bedford Park,” a film that truly stands out due to the exceptional performances of two Korean icons, Won Mi Kyung and Kim Eung Soo. For years, they’ve graced our screens with their grace and artistry, and it’s an absolute privilege to see them making their Hollywood debut in this movie. Their presence adds a layer of authenticity that elevates the entire film, transcending their roles as parents. Instead, they embody history, resilience, and the unspoken tensions that define many immigrant families, offering a profound and relatable portrayal.

Born and raised in South Korea, Mi Kyung began her acting career after winning the Miss Lotte beauty pageant in 1978. She quickly rose to fame, becoming one of the most prominent actresses during the ’80s. With an impressive box office track record in dramas and films, she gained international recognition with “Spinning the Tales of Cruelty Towards Women” in 1984, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2016, she made a grand comeback to Korea’s entertainment industry.

Eung-soo is a highly respected South Korean actor, boasting a versatile career that encompasses numerous decades and genres. He’s garnered widespread acclaim for performances in projects like “Tazza: The High Rollers,” “Chuno,” and “Inside Men,” where he portrayed the memorable antagonist. His talent has also been showcased in films such as “Asura: The City of Madness.” More recently, he’s captured the hearts of younger audiences with his appearances on popular sketch shows like “Gag Concert” and his role in “When the Stars Gossip,” making him a viral sensation.

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that I recently graced the screen in Alex Garland’s high-profile production “Civil War,” portraying a frontline war journalist alongside Kirsten Dunst. I also made an impact in William Oldroyd’s critically acclaimed film “Eileen.” However, it was my breakout role as Jimmy Hurdstrom in Kevin Costner’s “Yellowstone” that truly solidified my presence in the industry. Up next for me is a captivating role as Lee Harvey Oswald in Roland Joffé’s upcoming film, “November 1963,” having been fortunate enough to be chosen by this two-time Oscar nominee.

As a film enthusiast, I’m excited to share that the North American rights are being managed by CAA Media Finance, while Cornerstone Films takes care of international sales. Notably, White is represented by Gersh, Principal Entertainment LA, Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark.
