Actor Lee Jae-kyun attended the 30th Busan International Film Festival and shone.

Lee Jae-kyun attended the 30th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), which opened on the 17th, and met with the audience through the opening ceremony red carpet, open talk from the film 'Project Y', and GV.

The film 'Project Y' is a story about Mi-sun (Han So-hee) and Do-kyung (Jeon Jong-seo), who had only each other's possessions, stealing hidden black money and gold bars to escape from the bottom reality, and emerged as the most anticipated film after being officially invited to the Busan International Film Festival 'Today-Special Premiere of Korean Film' section following the 50th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).




Lee Jae-kyun worked with director Lee Hwan, actors Han So-hee, Jeon Jong-seo, Jung Young-joo, Kim Sung-chul and Yoo Ah on a variety of schedules ranging from the opening ceremony red carpet event to open talk and GV. In particular, 'Project Y', which drew great attention for its first screening in Korea, drew attention by selling out all episodes before the screening. In the GV, which was hot, Lee Jae-kyun had a meaningful time talking about various things with the audience.

In the play, Lee Jae-kyun plays Seok-gu, who is aiming for a big hit. He explained "Stone is a man who tries to survive and gain at every moment of choice, for money, for living." As such, Lee Jae-kyun plans to double the tension with his unrivaled presence in the play, where the desires of various human groups are mixed. It is also the first reunion with director Lee Hwan in eight years since the movie "Park Hwa-young", and expectations are high on the chemistry of "Trustable Combination" that he and Lee Jae-kyun will complete.

Meanwhile, Lee Jae-kyun will meet with the public through tvN 'Scarlet of the Painter' and the movie 'Project Y', which are scheduled to be released on October 3.
