Actress Hwang Returns to Movie

Actress Hwang Soo-jung will return to the silver screen for the first time in two years.

Hwang, 37, starred in ``A Time to Leave,'' the first episode of the omnibus movie ``Sai'' directed by Eo Il-seon, with actor Ki Tae-young.

She played the role of a wife who falls victim to habitual violence inflicted by her husband. She meets Ki, a seaman and jail-breaker, while traveling and the two fall into love.

In the movie, Hwang shakes off her fixed image of a good-natured woman and shows a much stronger image. The movie is to be released early next year.

Hwang had her acting career suspended in 2001 after being arrested on drug charges. She made a comeback in 2007 with the TV drama ``Salt Doll.'' She starred in the movie ``Day and Night'' last year.
