Lotte announced in a press release that Song, who played the female lead role of Da-hye, recently completed filming the final scene for the drama pic tentatively titled "Today" which will open in local theaters during the latter half of this year.

"Today," helmed by famed Korean director Lee Jeong-hyang whose works include "The Way Home," tells the story of documentary producer Da-hye who loses her fiancee in an accident. The pic also stars Nam Ji-hyun and Song Chang-eui.

Song, 29, had appeared in a string of dramas and sitcoms since her debut 1996 and shot to fame in hit KBS TV series "Autumn Fairy Tale" (KBS, 2000) co-starring Hallyu stars Won Bin and Song Seung-hun.
