Actress Jun Ji-hyun, 27, has begun promoting her new film "Blood: The Last Vampire" amid lingering public attention about her mobile phone incident. Jun attended a premiere for the movie held in Tokyo on April 2, restarting her film career after a one-year hiatus.
Jun had kept a low profile over the past year following the disappointing box-office performance of "A Man Once a Superman" where she played an opposite to Hwang Jung-min.
In particular, the Korean Wave star also did not show up at any public event in the past months due to a scandal where her agent allegedly attempted to spy on her by duplicating her mobile handset.
At the press event in Tokyo, Jun said she had a hard time physically and mentally working on "Blood," but she felt satisfied with the result.
"Blood," directed by Ronny Yu, is a remake of a Japanese animation of the same title. Jun plays a high school girl named Saya who slashes vampires at the Yokota Air Base in Tokyo, just before Halloween. The film is set to be released in Japan on May 29.
