Actress Song Ji Hyo is set to make her return to the big screen with a new project, drawing attention from audiences and industry observers alike. On February 3, Korean media reported that Song Ji Hyo has confirmed her participation in the upcoming human drama film “Accidental Chef” (literal title).
