Actors Kim Shin-rok and Seo Hyun-woo will serve as hosts for the opening ceremony of the 26th Jeonju International Film Festival.

According to the Jeonju International Film Festival Organizing Committee on the 16th, they will be holding the opening ceremony of the film festival at the Moakdang of the Jeonju Korean Traditional Music Center from the 30th to May 9th.

The organizing committee explained the reason for the selection, saying, “Kim Shin-rok is an actor who presents detailed and unique acting based on a deep understanding of the work and the character regardless of the genre, and Seo Hyun-woo is also receiving attention for his solid acting skills that allow him to deeply immerse himself in the work and portray a living character.”

This is the first time that Kim Shin-rok and Seo Hyun-woo have hosted the opening ceremony of an international film festival held in Korea.

Kim Shin-rok is receiving love from the public for his unique acting in JTBC dramas such as ‘The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family’ and Netflix’s ‘Hellbound’.

Seo Hyun-woo is also receiving attention for his delicate and solid acting in films such as ‘The Man Standing Next’ and ‘Decision to Leave’.

They have maintained a steady relationship with the Jeonju International Film Festival.

Kim Shin-rok met the audience at the film festival with ‘Jeopmong’, which was invited to the 2022 Korean Short Film Competition, and Seo Hyun-woo met the audience at the film festival with ‘People Living Alone’, which was invited to the 2021 Korean Competition section.

The two actors will open the film festival as opening ceremony hosts, and then meet film fans by participating in the ‘Jeonju Cine Tour X Majung’ program as actors affiliated with Just Entertainment.
