It certainly is the season for comic and action films, and "Miss Go" has been added to the growing list of comic films that will compete in local theaters next month.

"Miss Go," starring top actress Ko Hyun-jung, will be opening in theaters on June 21, according to a press release sent by NEW, the film's promoter, on Wednesday.

In the comedy action film, the host of energetic self-titled talk show on SBS will be playing a timid female character that has sociophobia. One day, she gets involved in a 42-million-dollar-crime after helping a nun on the street and runs into five strangers.

The five men she meets on the street all come from different backgrounds and they turn the woman's life upside down, transforming her into the queen of crime.

The upcoming comedy flick is directed by Park Cheol-kwan of the 2000s hit "Hi, Dhalma!" and co-stars Yu Hae-jin, Sung Dong-il, Lee Moon-sik and Ko Chang-seok.

Ko debuted after winning the second place of the Miss Korea Beauty Contest in 1989 and began her acting career by appearing in the long-run TV series "Love on a Jujube Tree" (KBS, 1990-2007) in 1999.

She has starred in many hit dramas such as "The Eyes of Dawn" (MBC, 1991-1991) and "Sandglass" (SBS, 1995) until 1999, when she got married to Chung Yong-jin, the chairman of Seoul-based conglomerate Shinsegae Group.

In 2005, the couple got divorced under mutual agreement and the actress resumed her activities with "Spring Days" (SBS, 2005) opposite actor Zo In-sung and Ji Jin-hee.

The past few years has been the actress' golden days after "Spring Days," "Queen Seondeok" (MBC, 2009) and "The President" (SBS, 2010) all scored high numbers in ratings.
