Hyeonhok

It’s 1935 in Gyeongseong, and struggling artist I-Ho Yun has been commissioned by the reclusive, elderly Madam Jeong-Hwa Song to paint a portrait. Madam Jeong-Hwa Song allows I-Ho to set eyes upon her -- an unprecedented event -- and standing before him is a young woman. But why does she ask him to paint an elderly version of her? “Don’t finish the portrait.” Tucked between the previous artist’s paint tubes is an ominous letter. I-Ho learns that no artist has left Madam Song’s abode alive or of sound mind. Just what is she hiding and what will happen if I-Ho finishes the portrait?
