Late S. Korean actress' work invited to Polish film fest
SEOUL, Sept. 29 (Yonhap) -- "Penthouse Elephant," which features a young South Korean actress who recently hanged herself, has been invited to compete at Poland's upcoming Warsaw International film festival, the film's distributor said Tuesday.
The debut film by director Jeong Seung-ku focuses on three male friends who deal
with sex addiction, anxiety and other contemporary disorders. The late Jang
Ja-yeon played the role of Hye-mi, the girlfriend of a libertine high-flying
plastic surgeon.
The film's distributor, Vantage Holdings, delayed local release to November out
of courtesy to fans and relatives of Jang, who committed suicide on March 7.
Her death made headlines for months here as the 30-year-old starlet left a
lengthy note claiming she was forced to perform sexual favors for powerful
entertainment figures.
The Polish film fest, established in 1995, will run from Oct. 9-18.
