Tribute Video Released for Late Actress Kim Soo-mi's Final Film 'Ghost Police'

The comedy film 'Ghost Police' (귀신경찰), directed by Kim Young-jun and produced by HJ Film, has released a tribute video honoring the late actress Kim Soo-mi, who passed away at the age of 75 on October 25, 2024. This film marks her final work and features Shin Hyun-joon, with whom she shared a close bond beyond that of a typical mother-son relationship, having previously collaborated on projects like 'Barefoot Ki-bong' and the 'Family Honor' series. As tributes continue, including a special gratitude plaque awarded at the recent MBC Acting Awards, the production team of 'Ghost Police' has also expressed their heartfelt sentiments.

The tribute video begins with a moment of silence for the victims of the Jeju Air passenger plane tragedy. It features Kim Soo-mi discussing how she wishes to be remembered during her appearance on 'Master in the House' (집사부일체). Following this, the cast and crew of 'Ghost Police', including Shin Hyun-joon and Jung Joon-ho, share their thoughts and memories in a heartfelt sketchbook tribute.

Shin Hyun-joon has frequently expressed his longing for Kim Soo-mi on his social media, stating, "I hope this fun and warm movie allows many people to laugh comfortably and cherish the importance of family, just as my mother wished."

The video also highlights Kim Soo-mi's significant works, such as the drama 'Country Diary' (전원일기), reminding viewers of her cherished presence in their lives. A touching greeting video featuring Shin Hyun-joon and Cha Si-yeon, who plays his granddaughter, saying, "See you at the premiere," adds an emotional touch.

While the tribute video is brief, it serves as a small comfort for those who wish to remember and honor her legacy. The video will be screened during the press and family previews of 'Ghost Police' at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall on January 13, providing an opportunity for her friends and the film industry to come together in remembrance.

'Ghost Police' tells the story of a police officer who, after experiencing an unexpected misfortune, gains trivial abilities and becomes embroiled in unforeseen events with his family. The film stars Shin Hyun-joon, Kim Soo-mi, and Jung Joon-ho, with director Kim Young-jun, known for 'The Last Gift... Guhyu', at the helm. It is set to be released on January 24, 2025.
