According to Soompi, Disney+ confirmed that the movie “Polaris” starring Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won will air next year.

In the film, Jun Ji Hyun will play Moon Ju - a spy who has lost her identity and is searching for the truth behind a major case. According to the producer, Moon Ju is a person with the ability to judge and act wisely.

The image of the secret agent reminds the audience of the role of Lee Mi Hyun played by Han Hyo Joo in the movie "Moving". This work is also invested in and produced by Disney+, telling the story of a group of people with mysterious backgrounds fighting against evil.

"Moving" resonated across Asia, winning the Daesang award at the 2024 Baeksang Awards and helping the broadcaster earn huge profits.

Following that success, "Polaris" starring Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won is predicted to be the blockbuster expected in 2025.

After Han Hyo Joo, Jun Ji Hyun will become the next "action heroine" of Disney+. This project marks Jun Ji Hyun's return after 3 years since the movie "Jirisan" - a work that did not have the expected results.

At the age of 42, the beauty of "My Love from the Star" needs an impressive work to regain her position and affirm her strength. She will be paired with Kang Dong Won - an actor who has been absent from the screen for nearly 20 years, since the project "Magic" in 2004.

Korean media assessed that "Polaris" has all the elements to become an explosive TV series when it gathers an expensive cast, dramatic script and prestigious producer.

In 2021, Jun Ji Hyun and Song Hye Kyo were the two highest paid beauties in the Korean entertainment industry. The 8X beauty acted in both television and movies, and even ventured into Hollywood, acting with a series of Chinese stars such as Li Bingbing.

Jun Ji Hyun once made a splash with "My Sassy Girl", "Wild Chrysanthemum", "My Love from the Star", "Legend of the Blue Sea". At her peak, the 8X beauty received more than 30 commercials at the same time, and was one of the stars with the highest advertising fees.

In recent years, she has only appeared in a few film projects, instead focusing on business, real estate investment, and taking care of her family.

Therefore, her reputation and frequency of participating in entertainment activities have somewhat decreased compared to Song Hye Kyo or Son Ye Jin.

Meanwhile, Song Hye Kyo made a big step forward in her career thanks to "The Glory" in 2023. However, before making her mark and winning Best Actress at Baeksang, Song Hye Kyo also had a decline in performance despite being paired with Park Bo Gum and Jang Ki Yong.

Song Hye Kyo will soon appear in “Dark Nuns” – the sequel to the 2015 hit film “The Priests”. She is said to be paired with actor Gong Yoo in a TV drama project.

Talking about the influence of Song Hye Kyo and Jun Ji Hyun, Hankookilbo newspaper commented: "The common point is that they create a strong influence every time they appear. They also have a large fan base, helping their films easily penetrate foreign markets."
