Jung Il-woo Returns to the Big Screen with Vietnamese Box Office Hit 'My Mom is Going to See Mom'

Actor Jung Il-woo is set to captivate audiences with his return to the big screen in the Vietnamese box office sensation, 'My Mom is Going to See Mom' (original title: 'Đưa Đứa Con Đi Tuổi Thơ').

The film, which dominated the Vietnamese box office for 15 consecutive days and surpassed 2 million viewers, is generating buzz for Jung Il-woo's heartwarming performance.

'My Mom is Going to See Mom' is a touching human drama about a son, 'Hwan', who single-handedly cares for his mother suffering from Alzheimer's. He embarks on a journey to take her to his brother in Korea, whom he has never met.

Jung Il-woo, who debuted in the 2006 MBC sitcom 'High Kick!' and later starred in films like 'My Love' and the drama 'The Moon Embracing the Sun', has established himself as an actor with a wide acting spectrum. He is currently charming viewers in the KBS weekend drama 'The Brave Young Couple'.

In the film, Jung Il-woo portrays 'Jung Min', the tender lover of 'Le Thi Han' during her youth. He embodies the charm of Korea's iconic romantic lead, falling in love with 'Le Thi Han' and building a happy life with her and their son, 'Ji Hwan'. His casting was reportedly unanimous between the Korean and Vietnamese production teams.

With his pure and refreshing portrayal of 'Jung Min', Jung Il-woo not only heightened the film's quality but also created sizzling chemistry with co-star Juliet Bao Ngoc, portraying both a beautiful romance and a marital bond. This chemistry resonated strongly with Vietnamese audiences and is expected to charm viewers in Korea as well.

Already popular in Vietnam as the 'Nation's Son-in-Law', Jung Il-woo's success with 'My Mom is Going to See Mom', which has now earned him the title of a 'Box Office Star', has heightened anticipation for his comeback to the Korean screen.

The film is scheduled to be released in Korea on November 5th.

Korean netizens are reacting enthusiastically to Jung Il-woo's overseas success. Comments include, "I didn't know Jung Il-woo was this popular in Vietnam! I'll definitely watch the movie.", "Hoping it's a hit in Korea too!", and "Nation's Son-in-Law, he really is the master of romantic comedies."
