The special exhibition will showcase three early works that imprinted Lee Sun-kyun on the public as an outstanding movie actor. In the 2010 Las Palmas International Film Festival Award for Best Actor 'Paju' (09), he was praised for delicately portraying a dual character who fell in love with his sister-in-law while having a sense of calling from the activist community.

Director Hong Sang-soo's topical film of the Locarno Film Festival, featuring Lee Sun-kyun's energetic performance, will also be screened, as well as the Cannes Film Festival's weekly invitation to "Go to the End" that featured intense action and tense performances as an unscrupulous detective.



The drama 'My Mister', which impressed many people with its calm and warm acting, is also available on screen through this special exhibition. Produced by Studio Dragon 'My Mister' is a production that has received a lot of favorable reviews when it was aired in 2018 and remains the best drama of many viewers. Out of a total of 16 episodes, Lee Sun-kyun and Park Dong-hoon's emotions and breaths in the play he played were selected, and the fifth episode, episode 5, will be screened.

Director Bong Joon-ho's 『Parasite" (19), who won the Palme d'Or for the first time in Korea, won four gold medals at the Academy Awards in the U.S., and put Lee Sun-kyun at the peak of his acting career, and his posthumous work 『Land of Happiness』 (24), who played the role of an upright soldier involved in the presidential assassination.



Meanwhile, the 29th Busan International Film Festival will be held for 10 days from October 2 to 11 around the Seoul Cinema Center.
