Song Hye-kyo selects movie

Actress Song Hye-kyo has decided her next role - her first since the SBS drama “That Winter, the Wind Blows - is going to be on the big screen as part of the movie “My Palpitating Life.”

“Life” will be directed by E J-yong, best known for 2003’s “Untold Scandal,” which starred Bae Yong-joon and Jeon Do-yeon.

“Song has known the director for a long time and the scenario was good,” said an official at her agency yesterday, according to local media reports. “There is no reason not to do the work.”

It will be Song’s first Korean movie in two years since the 2011 film “A Reason to Live.”

The production will start filming in January after it finalizes the casting.
