When director Park Hoon-jung, who helmed the award-winning 2012 crime thriller New World, was casting for his new movie Night In Paradise in 2019, actress Jeon Yeo-been was not as widely known as she is now.

“I appreciate director Park Hoon-jung for casting me and actor Eom Tae-goo in the lead roles," Jeon said during a joint media interview held via Zoom last month.
