Who is So Min Hye in A Shop for Killers?
So Min Hye in A Shop for Killers is a fictional character played by Geum Hae-na. Her character is described as an S-class killer specializing in guns, knives, and bare-knuckle fighting.
When Lee Dong Wook's character dies, Min Hye suddenly appears to come to Ji-an's (played by Kim Hye Jun) aid. With her uncle's passing Ji-an has suddenly become the target of experienced killers. This makes us wonder whether Min Hye is to be trusted.
In preparation for her role in A Shop for Killers, Naver reveals that Hae-na "underwent a rigorous training routine reminiscent of a triathlon, and as a result, her muscle mass increased by 3 kg."
Hae-na also introduced her character at a press event as "the crazy killer in this area, full of loyalty and love."
Her role also spoke some Chinese, so it was something that made her nervous. At a press conference, Hae-na shared that she found the scene where she spoke Chinese was more difficult than her action scenes.
Thankfully, she was able to get help from a Chinese friend, who taught her the correct pronunciation.
