The child star of the pedophile film ” Hope” – little Lee Re this year has made a spectacular makeover after 7 years, causing many viewers to stir.
Lee Re was born in 2006, and is now 15 years old. She is one of the promising child actors once in the Korean entertainment industry. Appearing in the 2013 film Hope on the topic of pedophilia and the laxity of the law, Lee Re shocked with the image of an innocent girl being raped, tortured, and brutally assaulted. The audience watching the movie “Hope” also could not expect this brilliant performance to come from a girl then only 7 years old. Now, Lee Re continues to shock with her “makeover” role in the recently released TV blockbuster Hellbound.
After Hope, she participated in a series of major film and television projects, the most prominent being Peninsula – the blockbuster following the hit Train to Busan. In Peninsula, Lee Re transforms into a super cool heroine with excellent driving skills, making the audience hold their breath. Perhaps it is also thanks to Lee Re’s shining talent and beauty that director Yeon Sang Ho invited this child actress to participate in Hellbound. Coming to Hellbound, the young actress continued to make the audience cross-eyed because she took on a difficult, complicated and somewhat crazy character.
In Hellbound, little girl Lee Re plays Jin Hee Jung – the daughter of police officer Kyung Hun (Yang Ik June). While the father confronts the cult leader Jin Soo ( Yoo Ah In), Hee Jung is lured and seduced by him.
The reason is because when she was young, because once Hee Jung neglected to give clothes to her father, her mother went to change. Tragically, the girl’s mother was attacked by a pervert, harmed to death. During her teenage years, little Hee Jung carried in her guilt, and at the same time resented the person who caused her mother’s death.
Under the “leadership” of Jin Soo, Hee Jung found the man who attacked her mother in the past. Believing that he did not receive proper punishment from the law, Hee Jung “replaced heaven to practice religion”. The girl and Jin Soo knocked out the old “blue-bearded demon”, then burned him alive – imitating what the “hell messengers” in the movie do to the victim.
The moment Hee Jung looked at the evil man in the past, howling miserably when he was burned alive, laughing and crying was one of Hellbound’s “coldest” moments. Young actress Lee Re brings the horror to the end to the audience, at the same time is very convincing with the character.
In just a few short moments appearing on Hellbound, Lee Re has shown great progress in her own acting ability. The 15-year-old actress received countless compliments from the world audience after watching Hellbound. In the future, Lee Re’s character Hee Jung will most likely reappear, making the audience look forward to it.
