BIFF #2 [화보] Back to the movie city! Stars on the red carpet at the Busan International Film Festival 1

“I missed you and missed you so much!” opening film Actor Choi Min-sik, who stood on the stage for the introduction, shouted, “I don’t know what else to say.” This year’s Busan International Film Festival, which screens 223 films from 70 countries on 29 screens in 6 theaters, will host the red carpet and opening ceremony with plenty of stars to make up for last year’s disappointment, which was short-lived due to the pandemic. placed At the moment when actors Song Joong-ki and Park So-dam, who appeared as hosts, named Lee Chun-yeon, the director of the Korean Film Achievement Award, and Im Kwon-taek, the director of the Asian Film Awards, all the fellow filmmakers in the audience stood up and gave a standing ovation. . The joy of meeting each other again, the joy of being united through the movie, and the strange excitement and excitement all mixed together with the mood of autumn to create an unforgettable night.

Today is elegant. The two actors, who look alike, dressed in tuxedos and all-black dresses, appeared as hosts for the Busan International Film Festival. The festival ground, which had to comply with strict quarantine rules due to the corona situation, flowed like water thanks to the calm and smooth progress of the two prepared hosts.

The Korean Film Achievement Award, given to a person who has contributed to promoting Korean films on the international stage, went to the late Lee Chun-yeon, who passed away in May. The deceased’s wife and son took the podium instead. Son Yong-jin said, “My father was always a warm and family-friendly person at home. After my father passed away, I could often look back on his achievements in the film industry, and I think this is probably the biggest moment among them.”

“I made my debut in the early 1960s and so far I have shot over 100 films. However, I have not yet made a film that I can be proud of myself for. Now that I’m old, I don’t think I’ll ever have the chance to make a film like that. I am happy and happy just to have made a movie so far.” (Im Kwon-taek) The main character of this year’s Asian Film Artist Award, given to filmmakers who have contributed to the development of the Asian film industry and culture, went to director Im Kwon-taek, a legendary Korean film.

As director Im Kwon-taek, who has directed 102 Korean films for over 60 years, stepped onto the podium, a standing ovation poured out all at once. Director Im Kwon-taek, who received flowers and plaques from Director Bong Joon-ho and Director Im Sang-soo, showed affectionately guiding his wife, who had previously walked the red carpet, to the center of the podium.

Actor Ko Min-si, who has emerged as a rookie for dramas since last year, visited Busan. A moment that perfectly helps even the wind for troubled poetry that radiates charm on the red carpet!

Can the gap between the red carpet and the picture in the work be this big? Kim Hye-yoon, who has tattoos all over her body and swears at the world, showed off her bright smile in a purple dress. For her first lead role on the screen, Hyeyoon Kim worked so passionately that she learned to drive heavy machinery herself.

Actors Park So-yi and Choi Hee-seo (from left). Park So-yi’s eyes and mouth were wide open when she entered the red carpet for the first time in her life. Next to the girl who radiates joy with her whole face, there is a strong senior Choi Hee-seo who meticulously coaches the red carpet manners. Actors Choi Hee-seo, Lee Je-hoon, Park Jung-min, and Son Seok-gu made their directorial debuts in the movie, where Choi Hee-seo directly starred and directed, matching an ensemble with Park So-yi.

Actress Jeon Yeo-bin, if you take a picture here… Just before entering the tense red carpet, the moment of the actor getting out of the car was captured beautifully as if it were a scene in a movie. After winning the Actor of the Year award at the Busan International Film Festival, Jeon Yeo-bin communicates with her fans this year through ‘Community Beef Day X Day and Missing Jeon Yeo-bin’.

From the opening ceremony presenters to a conversation with director Ryusuke Hamaguchi! The stylish director Bong Joon-ho, who enjoys an all-black suit on the red carpet, visited Busan this year without fail. As an icon of Korean cinema, he will be faithful to his role as an unofficial ambassador for the film festival, linking the audience with the film festival.
