A power duo might be coming to our screens very soon and we're talking about none other than Song HyeKyo and Jeon YeoBeen, who have both been offered leading roles in the upcoming supernatural thriller film "Wicked Nuns".

Song HyeKyo and Jeon YeoBeen are reportedly reviewing their offers positively and as such, there is a high chance that we may see them together on screen for "Wicked Nuns". If Song HyeKyo accepts the offer, this film will be her grand return to the Korean silver screen after 9 years. If Jeon YeoBeen accepts the offer, it will undoubtedly cement her position as the future of Chungmuro.

What is even more exciting is that both actresses are known as acting powerhouses, with Song HyeKyo recently winning the "Best Actress – Television" award at the 2023 Baeksang Arts Awards for "The Glory" and Jeon YeoBeen wowing fans with her multifaceted performance in "A Time Called You". Naturally, fans are already excited about the potential pairing and are looking forward to their performance in "Wicked Nuns".

"The Priests" Movie

Now, "Wicked Nuns" is said to be the female version of the popular blockbuster film "The Priests", directed by Jang JaeHyeon and starring Kim YoonSeok and Gang DongWon. The film was not only a box office hit but also earned many accolades. It was also the film that launched Park SoDam to mainstream success in South Korea, earning her 9 awards. Needless to say, it was a huge success, and anticipation for the female version is inevitably high.

"The Priests" tells the story of a near-impossible exorcism carried out by Father Kim (played by Kim YoonSeok) and Deacon Choi (played by Gang DongWon). A demon wreaking havoc in the nation hides in a young girl's body, rendering her half-dead until Father Kim, assisted by Deacon Choi, is able to confront it head-on. Deacon Choi, who starts out from a point of skepticism, gradually comes to terms with his inner doubt and finally puts his life on the line to subdue the demon.

If "Wicked Nuns" follows a similar storyline, Song HyeKyo, and Jeon YeoBeen's characters will most likely have a senior-junior relationship like in "The Priests". A striking dynamic will be formed, revealing a performance to remember.

The original film boasts extraordinary cinematography and outstanding character development, so we are justified in expecting great things from the anticipated new version, especially with such powerful actresses in the potential cast.
