Mystery film 'Face' (directed by Yeon Sang-ho, produced by Wow Point) has successfully completed the red carpet and world premiere at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival.

This year's Toronto Film Festival's special presentation section officially invited 'Face' was released to movie fans around the world for the first time through the world premiere, drawing a heated response.

In the evening of the 9th local time, the movie's main characters, Park Jung-min, Kwon Hae-hyo, Shin Hyun-bin, Lim Sung-jae, Han Ji-hyun and Yeon Sang-ho, received hot attention from audiences and reporters from all over the world at the red carpet event ahead of the world premiere.




Director Yeon Sang-ho, who was invited to the Toronto Film Festival for the third time after 'Pseudo'Hell', and the leading actors of 'Face' heated up the atmosphere on the spot by providing generous fan service to Toronto's heat.

The world premiere screening at the Princess of Wales Theatre was then filled with 1721 seats, realizing high expectations for director Yeon Sang-ho and actors. In particular, the dense mystery of 'Face', the overwhelming performance of actors, and director Yeon Sang-ho's directing ability to 'Beginning Yeonnibus' captivated global audiences, and after the screening, cheers and applause continued.

'Face' is drawing attention as the domestic media premiere, which was held immediately after the world premiere, ended in a successful manner and was receiving enthusiastic reviews. The story that contains a sharp sense of theme reminiscent of director Yeon Sang-ho's early works and the good performance of actors are highly appreciated.
