Korean actress Kim Yun-jin's new film "Harmony" is scheduled to open on January 28, according to the film's producer JK Film.

"Harmony", which stars Kim and veteran actress Na Mun-hee, is about a group of female inmates who form a choir inside a prison. Kim plays a mother who has to give up her baby for adoption while Na portrays the death-row inmate who becomes the conductor of the prison choir.
