Adding to her career as a singer, Kpop star SON has appeared on the small screen several times. Woman’s Wail is her second feature film after Return of the Mafia in 2012. PARK Min-ji was recently seen in Canola (2016) and A Man and a Woman (2016) while LEE Min-ho has featured in Running Man (2013) and Time Renegades (2016).
