Kim Ji-won and Kim You-jung Memorialize the Late Kim Hyeon-i, a Precious Action Actress

The same name appeared in the endings of the first broadcasts of dramas starring Kim Ji-won and Kim You-jung, respectively. As SBS's 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia' and tvN's '100 Days of Deception' simultaneously memorialized the late Kim Hyeon-i, viewers' curiosity is growing. At the final moments of the first episodes, where the brilliant lead actors and the narrative of the works draw attention, the person remembered by the production team through a separate subtitle was the actress who was responsible for the action acting behind the scenes.

In the ending of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia', which aired its first episode on the 9th, the phrase "We memorialize our precious colleague, the late Kim Hyeon-i, who ran with us" was inserted. It conveyed condolences toward a colleague who helped create the work. In particular, interest was gathered as Kim Hyeon-i's name was also included in the martial arts section of the ending credits, revealing that she was a person involved in the production process.

The tvN Saturday-Sunday drama '100 Days of Deception', which aired its first episode the following day on the 10th, also displayed a memorial subtitle at the end of the broadcast. The phrase was "We will not forget and will remember the late action actress Kim Hyeon-i." As the two works airing on different broadcasters consecutively honored the same deceased person, reactions asking who Kim Hyeon-i was continued among viewers.

Kim Hyeon-i was an action actress who participated in the production of 'Doctor X' and '100 Days of Deception', and she was known to have taken on action roles in various works such as movies and dramas. According to previously reported information, the deceased passed away after being involved in a traffic accident while traveling for filming this past August. The sadness was deepened by the fact that the accident occurred on the way to the site for the work.

Action actors play a role in increasing the realism and tension of scenes by implementing fights, chases, and dangerous movements within a work. While audiences and viewers experience the intensity of a short moment through the completed scene, behind it lies the effort of the on-site personnel who complete the scene by matching movements and practicing repeatedly. Although the names of lead actors often represent a work, action scenes are also the result of professional personnel in various fields working together.

The memorial subtitles of the two works show that the deceased was not simply a person who participated in the production, but a colleague who breathed together on set. The expressions "precious colleague who ran with us" and "will not forget and will remember" contain the time shared during the process of completing the work and the affection toward the deceased. The production team's heart to remember the deceased through separate memorial messages was also conveyed to the viewers.

The ending of a drama's first episode usually serves to increase anticipation for the next episode or leave a lingering impression of the work. However, this time, the two works left another meaning by devoting the final moments of the broadcast to memorializing the deceased. While the name may be unfamiliar to viewers, it has been revealed that she was an unforgettable existence to the colleagues who worked with her.

Works remain in the memories of viewers even after the broadcast ends, but the names of everyone who participated in making that work are not all known to the public. This memorial subtitle made people remember the action actress Kim Hyeon-i, who fulfilled her role outside the screen. As the name of the deceased, who was active on the sets of various works, was remembered through the first broadcasts of the two dramas, condolences praying for the repose of her soul continue.
